No. 19 Wisconsin’s uncharacteristic recent struggles have led to a dramatic makeover. The Badgers have a new coach and offense as the team attempts to bounce back from a 7-6 season and win the Big Ten West in the conference’s last year of divisional competition.
Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell gestures on the first day of training camp in Platteville, Wis., on Aug. 2, 2023.
Wisconsin has finished just a game above .500 two of the last three years. Former coach Paul Chryst was fired midway through last season despite owning a 67-26 record. Wisconsin made a splash by landing new coach Luke Fickell, who led Cincinnati to a College Football Playoff berth two seasons ago. All these changes add plenty of intrigue to a program known for its traditional reliance on smashmouth football.
