A tale of two games this weekend.  Bittersweet results leave Badger fans wishing for a bit more success!  
Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers football team gave Oregon a run for their money but fell short due to poor Quarterback play.  The defense played admirably in an effort that could have been the biggest win in nearly 15 years..but once again just couldn't happen.  We get into the game review and talk about the positives that can be taken!  Is it time for a QB change?  We give you our take!
Friday night was a joy in Madison as John Tonje led the Badges with 41 points in a huge upset of 9th ranked Arizona Wildcats!!  How good can this team be i 2024?  TONJE IS A STAR!

After a crushing loss last week to Penn St, the Wisconsin Badgers are back in action this week on the road at Iowa.. a night game at Kinnick Stadium!  Luke Fickell takes his team to the home of one of our hated rivals in search of a good victory this season.  With new Iowa quarterback Brendan Sullivan, how will the Badgers react and find ways to stop the Iowa offense, especially the running attack of Kaleb Johnson.  Can Braedyn Locke prevent turnovers and potentially get back his confidence from 2 weeks ago??

Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers suffered a crushing defeat on Saturday night at Camp Randall Stadium against James Franklin and the Penn St Nittany Lions.  After a good first half, the second half was a different story.  Even thought starting qb for Penn St Drew Allar left with an injury, the Badgers were unable to move the ball and create any sustained offensive attack.  Rajeev and Justin are back from Madison to break down the game and talk about how disappointing of a loss this really is in terms of the culture and the forward movement of the program.

The Wisconsin Badgers escaped a house of horrors disaster and did exactly what was needed to win at Northwestern!  A 23-3 win was dominated by Tawee Walker and the rushing attack, and a defense that is taking shape quite well and has quickly become one of the strengths of this team.  16 points allowed in 3 weeks is exactly what Luke Fickell and Mike Tressel needed to see!  The boys are back to break down the game, talk through how this team is all of a sudden 5-2, and look ahead to what has the potential to be the premier signature win of Luke Fickell's short time at Wisconsin!

After back to back big wins, the Wisconsin Badgers and head coach Luke Fickell head on the road again, this time to Evanston, Illinois, to face the Northwestern Wildcats.  Evanston has been a house of horrors for the Badgers as they've lost 4 of the last 6 meetings there, including many as a ranked team.  Whlie on paper the Braedyn Locke led team should be better, past performance has proved different.  Will Tawee Walker and the running game get going?  Will Hunter Wohler be able to stop Jack Lausch and this new look NW offense?  With Penn St on the horizon...IS THIS A HUGE TRAP GAME FOR WISCONSIN?!?!
