Wisconsin’s Bold Rise Under Fickell

Phil Steele is buzzing about Wisconsin’s potential turnaround, predicting a massive leap from last year’s four wins to eight or more this season, fueled by a friendlier schedule and new coach Fickell. He’s optimistic about quarterback Colton Joseph’s health boosting the passing game, even if it won’t be explosive. But he’s skeptical about the wide receiver depth, lacking a clear No. 1 target. Surprisingly, he’s calling safety Matthew Jung an “NFL caliber” talent despite last year’s missed tackles. And with his model projecting 27.1 points per game — up from under 13 last year — Steele believes if the defense holds, Wisconsin could be a serious contender.
