Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell on how the team used the bye week.
Provided by Wisconsin Badgers Football
Was the much-needed bye week a welcome break for the Wisconsin Badgers? They’re about to find out.
After a brutal 27-10 home loss to Maryland at Camp Randall Stadium on Sept. 20, the Badgers visit the No. 20 Michigan Wolverines on Saturday, Oct. 4. Three of the Badgers’ next four games are against ranked opponents.
Do the Badgers have any chance to be competitive against No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Oregon later in the month? Their matchup with the Wolverines could serve as a barometer.
