## Resource

Wisconsin Badgers football is on a mission to end a brutal 4-win season and their bowl drought, starting with a daunting Week One clash against Notre Dame. With new QBs Colton Joseph and Abu Sama III in the mix, Fickell’s squad hopes to build momentum through nonconference wins over Western Illinois and Eastern Michigan before facing brutal coin-flip matchups against Penn State, Michigan State, and UCLA. A tough stretch against USC and Iowa looms, but the final four games — against Purdue, Rutgers, Maryland, and Minnesota — are all winnable. If they can hit around 4-4 by then, they’ve got a real shot at bowl eligibility — and Minnesota could be the game that decides Fickell’s future.
