Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell said an embattled starter put together his best week of practice ahead of the team's upcoming game against Rutgers. Fickell made the comments as the program prepares for the Big Ten contest.
The Badgers are coming off a September 19 game against Eastern Michigan at Camp Randall Stadium, where offensive lineman PJ Wilkins wore the number 71 jersey while leading the team onto the field. Wisconsin will now turn its attention to the Rutgers matchup with the unnamed starter reportedly showing significant improvement in practice sessions.
Fickell, in his tenure with the Badgers, has emphasized development and competition at every position. The coach's public endorsement of the starter's practice performance suggests a potential lineup decision for the Rutgers game.
