(WNFL/LEARFIELD) – The Wisconsin Badgers welcome the Purdue Boilermakers to Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.
Coming off a loss to USC on Saturday, Luke Fickell met with the media on Monday to talk about the task in front of the Badgers.
Right off the top, Fickell talked about the need for his team to be better at playing complementary football.
Fickell then went on about that topic.
Fickell also spoke about quarterback Braedon Locke.
What was his message to Braedon Locke before the start of the USC game?
The Badgers come into Saturday’s game with a 2-2 record.

to Purdue since 2003.
