The Wisconsin Badgers certainly have a new fire under them heading into the 2023 season under new head coach Luke Fickell and his coaching staff, with recruiting getting off to a strong start, while the team has kept the fanbase excited with weekly videos from the social media department.
However, what matters the most is the factor yet to be seen: on-the-field play, and that comes with questions, specifically on the defensive end, where the Badgers will have to replace multiple starters in the secondary and the defensive line.
But, Wisconsin is set at the most important position in their secondary: boundary cornerback, as starter Alexander Smith is returning for a sixth season, and should be poised for a breakout season with how Cincinnati ran their defense under Luke Fickell.
