The Wisconsin Badgers are heading into a crucial year under head coach Luke Fickell, as they look to bounce back from a disappointing campaign that saw them snap a 23-year bowl game streak with a 5-7 season.
Fickell, hired with a seven-year deal back in 2022 to revamp the Badgers’ program after the firing of former head coach Paul Chryst, has gone 12-13 in two seasons at Wisconsin, and has struggled to make his mark on the field.
While Wisconsin’s recruiting classes have regularly ranked near the Top 25, the on-field product hasn’t been up to par, with injuries at the quarterback position and differences in scheme being key issues.
