Wisconsin Falls to Maryland as 'Fire Fickell' Chants Ring Out at Camp Randall

A reported buyout of about $25 million makes any coaching change a costly proposition.

Overview

  • Wisconsin lost 27-10 at home to Maryland to drop to 2-2, drawing boos and loud calls to fire head coach Luke Fickell.
  • A blocked 38-yard field goal, an interception returned to the 4-yard line, and a blocked punt put the Badgers in a 20-0 halftime hole.
  • The Badgers managed 61 rushing yards on 42 attempts and surrendered six sacks behind a youthful offensive line.
  • Starter Billy Edwards Jr. departed early after returning from a knee injury, backup Danny O’Neil went 14-of-22 for 120 yards with an interception, and Hunter Simmons threw a late touchdown.
  • Fickell’s record at Wisconsin is 15-15 following the program’s first loss to Maryland, with a bye week before a daunting October featuring Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State and Oregon.
