Talkin' Badgers season 2, episode 1: The crew talks about Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers football team ahead of their Week 1 matchup against Western Michigan at Camp Randall.

First, we get into the Badgers quarterback competition between Tyler Van Dyke and Braedyn Locke and why that choice was made, along with any potential future long-term ramifications from that decision.

I give my take on the Wisconsin football team's running back room. Could it be better than it was in 2024? Then we get into some buy or sell: Is the offensive line depth a problem?

After that, we talk about what we THINK we know about Mike Tressel's defense entering the season. Will the pass rush be enough to overcome the lack of depth on the defensive line?

Finally, the boys wrap up our weekly Wisconsin Badgers ramblings by taking a look at this week's odds on Fanduel and making our picks.
