A look back at Locke-Tober: The past and future of the Badgers’ QB1

Wisconsin football fans got the first true showcase of Braedyn Locke in last season’s nail-biter win against Illinois when he stepped in for starting quarterback Tanner Mordecai following Mordecai’s injury in their previous game against Iowa. Again this year, Locke has unexpectedly stepped into the starting quarterback position, mirroring the team’s hardships from last season.

Wisconsin was stuck in neutral. Now, they’re running full-speed toward an upset

In the first year and a half of Luke Fickell’s reign, the Wisconsin Badgers football head coach has overseen a lot. Fickell’s experienced the hope of taking over a historical college football program, the bittersweetness of changing an iconic system, continuous recruiting successes and most importantly, the frustration that building progress at Wisconsin has not been easy. But in the last three weeks, Fickell has experienced something completely new.

Tawee Walker finally earns his spotlight as a Badger

The Wisconsin Badgers football program seemed to reach a new low after blowing a 21-10 halftime lead at No. 23 University of Southern California. While the game ended in a 31-21 loss, Wisconsin’s first half performance offered a glimpse of what was to come in the approaching weeks, especially from senior running back Tawee Walker, who rushed for two of the three touchdowns scored.
