In Leonhard’s first season as the Badgers’ defensive coordinator, the defense was among the best in the nation. This season, Wisconsin ranked No. 1 in total defense (253.2 yards allowed per game), No. 2 in rushing defense (92.6 yards allowed per game), No. 3 in scoring defense (13.2 points allowed per game) and No. 4 in passing defense (160.6 yards allowed per game).
Before taking over the Badgers’ defense, Leonhard was their secondary coach.
