Is Luke Fickell’s Hot Seat Actually a Catalyst for Wisconsin’s Unexpected Rise?
“Even though the record has gotten worse each year, it feels like [Fickell] might finally be on the right track,” Feldman wrote. “That’s because the Badgers finished 2025 with two wins in November against ranked teams, beating No. 23 Washington and whipping No. 21 Illinois. It’s also noteworthy because they ended October with back-to-back games against Ohio State and Oregon and never quit on Fickell or each other.
“There is plenty of excellent young talent, especially on defense, led by budding stars Mason Posa and Cooper Catalano, a pair of sophomore linebackers who shined in those wins,” Feldman continued. “The hope is that speedy Old Dominion transfer QB Colton Joseph, the 2025 Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year, can spark what has been a horrid offense.”
