The Bucky Report

The Wisconsin Badgers just got thumped 31–7 by No. 2 Indiana on the road, dropping to 3–7 in a season that’s testing everyone’s patience — but it wasn’t all doom and gloom. We break down Carter Smith’s first start as the first true freshman QB to start for Wisconsin since 1991, his 45-yard touchdown strike to Lance Mason, the defense racking up five sacks on Heisman contender Fernando Mendoza, and how the game slipped away in the second half with just 23 total yards after halftime. We’ll also talk about the scary Gideon Ituka injury and the positive early reports on his status. Then we pivot to basketball, where Wisconsin is off to a 3–0 start, blowing out Campbell, Northern Illinois, and Ball State behind big showings from John Blackwell, Nolan Winter, and Nick Boyd as the Badgers look like a legit Top-25 squad.
