Jim Leonhard is starting to feel more comfortable as interim head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers after his first game. Wisconsin went on the road for Week 6 to take down Northwestern 42-7.

After the game, Leonhard talked about the difference of having the responsibility of handling duties as a defensive coordinator and a head coach.

Leonhard has been the defensive coordinator for Wisconsin for the past 7 years after serving as the defensive backs coach in 2016. He has been been a head coaching candidate for several teams in the past few seasons.

Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh fired Paul Chryst as head coach of Wisconsin after starting the season 2-3 and a 34-10 loss at home against Illinois in Week 5.

Leonhard looks to continue his winning streak on the road to Michigan State in Week 7.
