Episode notes

Ryan and Clinton continue with fall previews, and Justin Julka from The Bucky Report joins the show to help the guys break down Wisconsin in a make-or-break season for Luke Fickell.

Year three of the the Fickell regime once again featured an inept offense, spurred by more injury issues at the QB position. Billy Edwards got hurt in the season opener against Miami and then played one additional game the rest of the season, a season after Tyler Van Dyke suffered a season-ending injury in game three, a season after Tanner Mordecai missed three games after a 4-2 start that lead to a 7-6 finish. The Badgers went portal shopping again at QB bringing in Colton Joseph from Old Dominion. A dynamic running threat, he adds a different dimension to this Badgers' attack. But can he avoid turnovers enough to be a true difference maker?

On defense, Wisconsin was great against the run last season but struggled at times against the pass. Where can they most improve in 2026?
