Wisconsin linebacker Tackett Curtis was supposed to form a dynamic, veteran linebacker duo this year with Christian Alliegro in the middle of the Badgers defense.
During the recent loss, a Wisconsin Badgers‘ defender displayed a serious pain tolerance after playing through a broken arm early on in the game. Christian Alliegro, a former three-star recruit from Avon Old Farms (CT), was once a talented lacrosse prospect before turning into a madman of a linebacker.
The Wisconsin Badgers have entered both dangerous and potentially ugly territory as the program is set to embark upon a tough schedule at their worst. There have been no secrets surrounding Wisconsin this season as the team simply has not performed up to expectations.
Through four games, the Wisconsin Badgers have begun to develop both good and bad trends, including one concerning trend on the defensive side of play.
MADISON, Wis. -- The new Wisconsin Badgers offense is pushing Luke Fickell's defense in new ways to help them prepare for the tough road ahead. Starting safety Austin Brown and first-team linebacker Christian Alliegro likened Jeff Grimes' system to that of Penn State's during Monday's Local Media Day.
Wisconsin failed to reach bowl eligibility for the first time since 2001 last year, and Luke Fickell comes into 2025 with one of the hottest seats in college football.
