Badgers Win, But Questions Linger | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

The Badgers edged out a 27-point win over Western Illinois, but the performance left fans and players wanting more. Quarterback Colton Joseph showed flashes of his arm talent—especially against Notre Dame—but struggled with accuracy early, possibly hampered by injury. Defense had shaky man coverage moments, though they wisely dialed back on last week’s disastrous zone scheme. Run defense held up, as most of Western Illinois’ ground yards came from their scrambling QB—not their backs. And while Abu Sama lit it up with a 72-yard TD, he’s learning to capitalize on middle lanes instead of forcing outside runs for big plays. Improvement is clear, but there’s still work to do.
