When offensive coordinator Phil Longo was hired back in January of this year, media outlets across the nation crowned the veteran OC as the savior of the University of Wisconsin football program’s offense.

The results, however, have yet to meet high expectations. UW’s offense is currently averaging 22.36 points per game, their lowest mark since George Bush won reelection in 2004.

The myriad of scheme changes and transfer portal acquisitions have proven to be futile in reinventing the Badgers’ offense, which was expected to be one of the best in the Big Ten West if not the conference.
