Badgers OL Showing Grit and Growth | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

The Wisconsin Badgers’ offensive line is heating up with renewed energy and physicality, showing major strides in their first two games. They’ve limited sacks—just two for Colton Joseph—and held Western Illinois to only three pressures. While the run game stumbled against Notre Dame (67 yards, 2.2 ypc), it exploded against the Leathernecks (233 yards). Coach Luke Fickell praises the unit’s grit, especially backups and newcomers like Stylz and Kevin Heywood, with Austin anchoring the front. But PJ Wilkins still needs to elevate his pass protection—improved against a weaker rush, but he’ll face tougher tests ahead. This line’s evolution could be the engine that drives the Badgers’ season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
