Ball, who turned down a likely high NFL Draft pick in order to return for his senior year, was a consensus All-American who tied Barry Sanders' record for touchdowns in a single season with 39. He posted 1,923 yards as a junior. His return boosted UW's expectations for the year, with sanctions throughout the rest of the division making the Badgers a clear favorite to win the Big Ten.
