Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell has been tasked with a big assignment: find a way to develop a true freshman quarterback on the fly. It's not something Fickell even likes to do, as he prefers veteran play-callers over inexperienced ones. But this is his lot, and yet, he describes young Carter Smith's attitude as something incredible and a fire that he needs going forward.
"I don't know that the moment was too big. It wasn't like you could look in his eyes and be worried. That's not it. You know, that's a really good thing. "
Fickell was responding to a question about Smith, but he answered it more broadly about freshmen.
