It’s great experience for those freshmen, but as Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell explained, it’s part of the nature of it to see them hit a wall. Fickell was happy with the growth he saw from those young players during camp, even though they did hit a wall along the way because of how they worked once they got to that point. “We saw a growth and we’ve seen them hit a wall,” Luke Fickell said. “I think that’s the nature of it, but I think that 11 of those guys were brand new.
