After his team's unlikely 13-10 upset win over 23rd-ranked Washington, Wisconsin football coach Luke Fickell spoke to the media about his job.

What a week for Wisconsin football. First, athletics director Chris McIntosh announced on Thursday, Nov. 6 that coach Luke Fickell will be coming back in 2026, to the dismay of many Badgers fans.

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell made a surprising wardrobe change against Washington. Perhaps it was good luck.

Wisconsin finally had a reason to jump around, while the ACC continues to make its College Football Playoff case worse.

Wisconsin fans rushed the field at Camp Randall Stadium after the Badgers' 13-10 win over Washington, which ended UW's six-game losing streak.

When Wisconsin took the field against the Oregon Ducks, it was missing eight of its 22 players, who it considered Week 1 starters. Earlier this week, Fickell confirmed that two of those injured players, running back Dilin Jones and center Jake Renfro, underwent season-ending surgery.
