The Wisconsin Badgers wrapped up Day 1 of fall camp on Tuesday, which was a no-pads day, but still one that head coach Luke Fickell characterized as a ‘good day of work.’
While it was just the first practice, the defense notably forced a few turnovers in the fumble department, knocking four or five balls loose, which Fickell acknowledged following the day of practice.
It was a difference in pace for Wisconsin, who struggled in generating fumbles last year, be it due to a lack of opportunity or sheer bad luck.
But, with a positive for the defense, it is also a concern for the offense, as the Badgers did have fumble issues a year ago, which they don’t want to stick going forward.
