The Wisconsin Badgers suffered a 35-31 loss at the hands of the LSU Tigers on Monday, ending their season at 7-6 in a close contest.

It was a battle in which the Badgers surprised the field by coming out swinging, leading 14-0 after the first quarter and trailing for only 3:10 in the whole game.

However, they ultimately couldn’t win the game at the end of the day, finishing their 2023 season in the loss column.

During the game, one of the more scrutinized issues was the conservative decisions of head coach Luke Fickell, who punted on a few instances near midfield, while choosing to kick two field goals in potential go-for-it situations.
