Fans of all kinds of Wisconsin sports saw their other favorite teams outscore the Wisconsin football team in October. In four games, including two in which the Wisconsin Badgers failed to score any points, the UW offense managed to put a meager 17 points on the board. Wisconsin scored a touchdown in the first quarter of its first game in October and did not find the end zone again until the final quarter of its final game of the month.
A couple of young defensive standouts limited the damage in the final scoring margin, but questions surrounding Luke Fickell’s tenure remain. Clock management miscues against the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks provided further data points for a larger trend: Fickell’s ultra-conservative approach yields disappointing results week after week.
The Talkin’ Badgers After Dark crew reconvenes to break down the scoring output of various football, baseball, volleyball, and hockey teams. Plus, a brief recap of the Wisconsin basketball preseason.
