Last season for the Wisconsin Badgers was a complete disaster, but Luke Fickell might have found his footing toward the end. The Badgers got back to playing near their standard. Fickell has the support of the program, and with better quarterback play, the Badgers could compete for a bowl bid. USC can't take a win over the Badgers for granted.
In a recent article , Bjorn Bergstrom is projecting the Wisconsin Badgers to bounce back from a 4-8 season and get back to winning this season. Here is what he had to say.
"Coach Luke Fickell is still around, clearly with support from the athletic department after a disappointing start. to his tenure. He pulled off a major move in the portal, landing Old Dominion quarterback Colton Joseph after his illustrious career with the Monarchs. Joseph's talent alone should win the Badgers a couple more games than a season ago, elevating them to bowl eligibility."
The Badgers are projected to take down the Trojans and finish the season 7-5. Week 9 has all the makings of a trap game for the Trojans as they are heading to Wisconsin for that game. That would be a loss for USC that would take them out of contention for a College Football Playoff spot. The Badgers will be a worthy opponent this season, but USC will need to ensure they seize that game as an opportunity to prove themselves as a worthy threat in the Big Ten.
