MADISON, Wis.\u2014 This is a pivotal year for Wisconsin Badgers head football coach Luke Fickell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fickell said at Big Ten Media Days in Chicago on Tuesday that there have been a hell of a lot of changes over the last nine months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this begs the question, how confident is Fickell that fans will see the growth in the wins and loss column.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I’m total confidence in it.” Fickell said. “I know that we are getting ready to walk our ass into camp and there’s a lot of things that is going to happen and grow in camp.” Fickell went onto to say he feels good about the depth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Senior safety Matthew Jung has high hopes for the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I feel much more confidant because I think it goes the relationship we have with the guys and the trust and belief we have in each other.” Jung said\u00a0<\/p>\n
Senior linebacker Sebastian Cheeks said Wisconsin will be setting a standard this season.<\/p>\n
“Nothing is guaranteed in this game and obviously your resume is your win-loss total.” Cheeks said. “For us we got to continue to know that we are setting that standard every day, we are setting that proof in the pudding the things that are ultimately help us win and if we don’t attack it every day we are not going to reap the benefits of it .”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wide receiver Chris Brooks Jr. said the confidence level is high this season.<\/p>\n
“I think we are extremely confidant because we know what we are prepared to do.” Brooks Jr. said<\/p>\n
“We’ve learned who each other are, we know the guys that we’re playing with and I can’t wait to see us go through that first test and see how we respond.” “I think this team is made up of a bunch of fighters and that’s something I’m really proud of to be a leader on that team and to say these are my guys and I think that these guys when we go to war we’re going to do it the right way.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Badgers are set to begin fall camp next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
