Wisconsin football aims for improvement in four key areas for 2026

Wisconsin football coaches Jeff Grimes and Mike Tressel outlined four critical areas for improvement as the team prepares for the 2026 season. After a disappointing four-win season in 2025, the Badgers ranked last in college football with only six forced turnovers. Emphasis will be placed on enhancing ball security and increasing takeaways on defense. Wisconsin intends to achieve at least two takeaways per game and improve its performance in third-and-long situations. The offensive strategy will focus on both rushing and passing efficiency, aiming to capitalize on past successes when outgaining opponents in rushing yards.
