I said that if they reached that total, it would be a successful season. They've won 7, and have a shot at #8 in a bowl game.What was most impressive is how Fickell and his staff slowly began to embrace the run, over the pass, because it's who the Badgers were, from past recruiting cycles. If you want to change that up, and become more pass oriented, you need the personnel on the field that fit that scheme. Obviously, from most of our perspectives, this was not the team, this year, that fit that mold.What's on the agenda for next year? For openers, I don't know if they have a clue who will be the QB. Will it be someone already in-house, Mettauer coming out of HS, or someone coming in through the portal? Who is going to replace Braelon Allen? Obviously there's nobody on the roster at this point who can make an impact, unless it's the probably red-shirt freshman, White. But... is he going to be good enough? On defense, what will the new batch of players look like, on the field? What kind of depth will we have in the secondary?Next year could end up close to the same as this year, but that's an early guess at best. It will be an interesting off season, watching the in and out activities with the portal.</blockquote>
