The saying, “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,” often applies to sports and to life in general. However, Troy Fumagalli proved Monday that how you start and how you finish a season can change its final outlook completely.
The junior tight end for the No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers was the driving offensive force in two of UW’s biggest wins during the 2016 season: its first and its last.
Fumagalli turned in one of Wisconsin’s two 100-yard receiving performances in the opening game of the season, when the Badgers defeated the No. 5 LSU Tigers 16-14.
