Ryan and Clinton hit the home stretch of preview season, talking Wisconsin. To help break them down, Rajeev Chhabra from The Bucky Report podcast and Locked on Badgers joins the show.

It's been two years of struggles under Luke Fickell for Wisconsin, and an unrelenting schedule in 2025 does not exactly help. Is this a make-or-break year for Fickell's tenure, or will the difficulty of the schedule -- which features six preseason AP Top-25 teams -- afford some grace.

After two years of flirting with Phil Longo's air raid, Fickell turns to Jeff Grimes to return Wisconsin to more of a run-oriented attack. Will there be any ill affects with the scheme change? Regardless of scheme, Wisconsin has been snakebitten under Fickell with QB health -- losing Tyler Van Dkye in game three last season, after losing Tanner Moredecai for a month in the middle of what, to that point, was a strong season. Can Maryland transfer Billy Edwards help steady the ship?

Wisconsin was poor against the run a season ago, and went heavy on defensive line acquisitions in the portal to remedy this. How will the line rotation shake up, and can we expect any of the newcomers -- or players already on the roster -- to ascend to impact players in 2025?
