So Why Does Wisconsin’s 36-9 Win Feel Like A WARNING?!

Wisconsin got the win over Western Illinois, 36-9 — but did the performance leave us with more concerns than confidence?

On today’s show, we break down everything that stood out from the Badgers’ home opener. We’ll talk about Colton Joseph and the passing game, Abu Sama and the running backs, the offensive line, Wisconsin’s defensive performance, Luke Fickell and the coaching staff, and why a comfortable final score didn’t necessarily feel like a comfortable win.

Plus, we go position by position through the Wisconsin roster identifying the things we feel like we can already say with confidence. What have we learned? What looks legitimately good? What are the warning signs? And what are we still waiting to see?

Wisconsin is 1-1, but with Big Ten play getting closer, how much should we take away from what we saw against Western Illinois?
