Wisconsin Big Ten Media Days representatives HC Luke Fickell, RB Braelon Allen, ILB Maema Njongmeta and QB Tanner Mordecai were all over the headlines this week as the new-look program went through the media gauntlet for the first time.
Fickell discussed everything from Jim Leonhard taking a job at Illinois, his vision for a successful 2023 season and injury updates entering training camp.
I’m sure the players were questioned constantly on the feel of the new program, what to expect from the offense under Phil Longo and what it’s like with new faces all over the building.
One question from a Big Ten Network segment is one Badger fans should be interested in. How do each of Allen, Mordecai and Njongmeta define a successful 2023 season?

One constant theme: returning to the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis, Indiana in December. That would break a three-year drought for the team in the West division and allow a chance for the program’s first Big Ten title since 2012.
