Overview

• Wisconsin fell 27-10 at Camp Randall after a first half that included an interception plus blocked field-goal and punt attempts, creating a 20-0 halftime deficit.
• Students repeatedly chanted “Fire Fickell” and the Badgers were booed at the break as the team dropped to 2-2.
• Athletic director Chris McIntosh told local outlets he has “belief” in Fickell and said this is a moment to show support for the coach and players.
• Fickell is 15-15 at Wisconsin and the Badgers have lost six straight Big Ten games, putting consecutive bowl bids at risk with Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State and Oregon next.
• Starting quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. left after one series with a knee issue as injuries piled up, which McIntosh called a reality, and Fickell’s season-ending buyout is about $25 million.
