Wisconsin vs Notre Dame: Encouraging Signs, Familiar Problems! What Do We Know Now?

Wisconsin gave fans a real reason to believe for one half against Notre Dame, trailing just 13-10 at halftime before the game turned into an all-too-familiar second-half beatdown.

On today’s show, we break down what we learned about Colton Joseph, the new-look Wisconsin offense, and Luke Fickell’s team after facing one of the best teams in the country. There were legitimate positives to take away, especially with so many new pieces in key roles, but there were also familiar issues that have followed this program for years: costly mistakes, questionable coaching decisions, and a team that seemed to lose its edge once the deficit grew.

So how much should we actually take from this loss to a national title contender? Did the first half show real progress for Wisconsin football, or did the second half reveal that the same old problems are still there?

We break it all down on this episode of The Bucky Report.
