Talkin' Badgers mailbag: Frustrations mount after loss to USC, QB questions, & reasons for optimism

On this week's episode of Talkin' Badgers, we’re diving into listener questions for a mailbag session, but first, we have to talk about the Wisconsin Badgers football team's tough 38-21 loss to No. 13 USC. The Badgers are now 2-2 on the season and still winless under Luke Fickell against ranked teams, sparking frustration from fans and even some former players. With a 1-3 Purdue team coming up, the pressure is mounting to right the ship. Join Cooper, Ryan, and me as we tackle everything from the quarterback situation to offensive struggles. Could any redshirt/transfers be on the horizon, and is it time to start planning for next year? Plus, we’ll share thoughts on whether the program could potentially miss a bowl game and where Wisconsin goes from here.Support Talkin' Badgers by checking out our sponsors!
