  • Wisconsin Badgers Lose 24-10: Simmons Debut, Questionable Coaching & Defensive Silver Linings
    by The Bucky Report on October 6, 2025 at 11:33 am

    Wisconsin’s 24–10 loss at Michigan may have added another “L” to the record, but it also gave us our first real look at Hunter Simmons running this Badger offense — and there’s plenty to unpack. Simmons showed flashes of composure, accuracy, and leadership, even behind an offensive line that continues to struggle in protection. We’ll break down what he did well, where the timing and reads still need work, and whether he’s earned another start heading into the Iowa game next week at Camp Randall. Then we’re getting into the decisions that had Badger fans fuming — from the conservative second-half play-calling to the late-game clock management that left timeouts on the board. Was Luke Fickell playing not to lose? Or did he simply not trust this offense yet? We’ll dissect what it says about the current coaching mindset and whether adjustments are finally coming. And yes — there’s still reason for optimism. The Wisconsin defense battled all afternoon, holding Michigan to just ten points in the first half and keeping the Badgers within reach until late in the fourth. We’ll highlight the players who stood out, what Jim Leonhard (or Mike Tressel, depending on context) has cooking schematically, and why this performance could be a real turning point heading into the Big Ten West grind. It’s not all doom and gloom — this one felt different. We’re talking Simmons’ poise, the coaching heat, and the defensive fight that might finally give this team a new identity. 🎙️ Hosted by Rajeev & Justin on The Bucky Report — your home for honest, unfiltered Badger football talk all season long. 👇 Drop your thoughts below — was this loss more about execution or coaching? 👍 Like, subscribe & hit the bell to stay locked in every week.
