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

By Jacob Szczap | Oct. 26, 2024

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

By Brendan Wolf | Oct. 26, 2024

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.

Wisconsin wins third consecutive conference game after defeating Northwestern

By Sophia Ross | Oct. 25, 2024

The atmosphere of an away game is always bound to be different than when playing at home, especially when that game is set at a temporary venue. But even a 12,000 person stadium located directly off of windy Lake Michigan could not stop the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday. Wisconsin defeated Northwestern 23-3 as they secured their third consecutive Big Ten conference win.

Column: Are the Badgers onto something?

By Jacob Szczap | Oct. 19, 2024

For the first time in a while, the Wisconsin Badgers football team looks good. Not in the way that last season’s wins helped build the foundation for a new era of Badger football, or in the way the continuing recruiting success sets the program up for the future. You don’t have to reach for any metaphorical coach-talk to describe how the Badgers have played the last two weeks – they’ve just been objectively, flat-out good.

Wisconsin vs USC: A tale of two halves

By Sophia Ross | Oct. 5, 2024

LOS ANGELES — It was a near-perfect day for football as Wisconsin faced off against the University of Southern California in Los Angeles on Sept. 28. Sunny conditions, an iconic stadium and a fairly massive crowd of Wisconsin fans promised a show at the Los Angeles Coliseum Stadium — and for the first 30 minutes of play, Wisconsin was displaying just that.

Column: Can the Badgers keep their bowl streak alive?

By Spencer Teman | Sep. 27, 2024

The University of Wisconsin-Madison football team headed into their first bye week of the season sitting 2-1 following a disappointing loss to the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide on Sept. 14. With the expansion of the Big Ten and a tough schedule ahead, the question stands: will the Badgers be able to make it back to bowl season?
