Jeff Grimes is officially running the show in Madison, and Wisconsin fans are eager to see how his proven offensive system will translate to the Big Ten. In this episode of The Bucky Report, we break down The Grimes Effect—an in-depth look at what his offenses have accomplished at Baylor and Kansas, and what realistic expectations should be for the Badgers in 2025.

We dive into Jeff Grimes’ offensive philosophy, including his run-heavy, physical style, explosive play-action passing, and incredible third-down efficiency. We’ll set over/under predictions for rushing yards, passing efficiency, points per game, and total offense. Plus, we’ll talk Billy Edwards Jr.—what can we realistically expect from Wisconsin’s new quarterback, and how does he fit this system?

Who are the players most likely to thrive under Jeff Grimes? Will Wisconsin’s offensive line dominate the way Baylor’s did in 2021? And can the Badgers return to being a top-tier rushing team in the Big Ten? We answer all those questions and more.

If you’re a Wisconsin Badgers football fan, or just want to know how Jeff Grimes’ offense will change the Badgers’ identity in 2025, this is the show you need to watch. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment your predictions for Grimes’ first season at Wisconsin!
