Wisconsin LB Leo Chenal after huge outing: 'I love physical football'
Wisconsin got back in the win column after Saturday’s matchup against Army and a big reason for that was the play of linebacker Leo Chenal.
He was everywhere for the Badgers’ defense and finished with 17 total tackles (8 solo) with 1 sack and a forced fumble.
After the game, Chenal caught up with Rick Pizzo of the Big Ten Network to discuss that monstrous performance.
“I just love physical football and those guys are bringing the physicality man. I respect those guys so much, what they do, and they really brought it to us. They’re physical, disciplined and we love that. We love playing physical since it matches us.”
