How Badgers HC Luke Fickell plans to approach competitive flare-ups at spring ball

The Wisconsin Badgers are one week deep into spring ball, where competitive juices have begun to flow between the offense and the defense.

That involves a number of scuffles, with two occurring on Tuesday after offensive players took offense to tackles from defensive players, while a bigger one occurred Thursday when outside linebacker Leon Lowery and offensive linemen Jack Nelson and Joe Brunner.

The latter dust-up led to Brunner being forced to run laps after talking with offensive line coach A.J. Blazek, although he returned to practice shortly after, with things resuming as normal.

Are the practice flare-ups something that head coach Luke Fickell condones?
