After consecutive 7-6 seasons, the Wisconsin Badgers will aim for a resurgence in 2024 in head coach Luke Fickell's second year at the helm.
It won't be an easy task in the new-look Big Ten Conference, which expanded to 18 members in the offseason. They'll face five teams that appear in the AP Poll's preseason top 25, including tough matchups against Oregon and Alabama.
The team named transfer quarterback Tyler Van Dyke as the starter and will hope for elevated leadership after Van Dyke spent four seasons with the Miami Hurricanes.
Wisconsin will also have to replace NFL-bound star running back Braelon Allen, as sixth-year senior Chez Mellusi and Oklahoma transfer Tawee Walker will likely carry the load.
Wide receiver Will Pauling earned Second Team All-Big Ten honors last season and will look for another breakout year.
On the defensive end, the linebacker corps was improved in the transfer portal, although questions remain about the defensive line.
After years of storied success, the Badgers will hope to capture another Big Ten title, competing alongside some other elite programs.
