Fickell Leads Wisconsin Against USC Trojans

Luke Fickell, who was previously linked to a USC coaching job in 2021 due to his former employer's connections with the school, now leads the Wisconsin Badgers against them. The matchup is taking place at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday night under lights as part of their first Big Ten home game since October 2024. While Fickell guided Cincinnati to a College Football Playoff appearance in 2021 before USC hired Lincoln Riley instead, his time in Madison has been described as disappointing after nearly four years. The Wisconsin team enters the contest with a 4-2 record and is seeking their fifth consecutive home victory this season.
