Despite losing by two touchdowns to the Michigan Wolverines, Wisconsin football undoubtedly put together its most complete on-field performance of the season. A mostly average offensive performance and an above-average defensive performance inspired some confidence in the Wisconsin Badgers.

Head coach Luke Fickell, however, continues to make puzzling in-game decisions. Talkin’ Badgers breaks down the year-over-year trends for the third year UW head coach, who appears to be getting even more conservative in game management. Middleton Middle School head coach Ryan Eilers offers his expert analysis after compiling a 1-4-2 record with the Cardinals.

In Wisconsin’s upcoming matchup with the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Badgers look outmatched in the first three phases. Perhaps, they have an advantage in the fourth phase after using the 42 points surrendered last year to Iowa as a rallying cry all year long.
