This week in Wisconsin talk
The shows spent the week breaking down Wisconsin's loss to Notre Dame at Lambeau. They noted that while Wisconsin kept things close early, Notre Dame's adjustments in the second half left the team with no answer. There's been talk about Luke Fickell's conservative approach, with the hosts questioning decisions like punting deep in opponent territory while down multiple scores.
