It's hard to find hope after watching Wisconsin win only four games and lose to its rival, Minnesota, for the second straight year. There wasn't much to give Wisconsin fans optimism in the game, or even afterward, as the postgame press conference wasn't particularly inspiring. However, true freshman star linebacker Mason Posa did give a confidence-boosting quote, and it came in the form of a bold promise.
He said, "Next year, I promise you, and I swear by it, we're gonna change this program. It is going to be a winning program." He isn't just blowing smoke; he believes it, and his optimism should inspire Wisconsin fans.
