Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will Wisconsin Get Crushed By Iowa Again? | Badgers vs Hawkeyes Preview
Q: What would you say Joel is the strongest position group that Iowa has going into the season?
The lines, both offensive and defensive, are the strongest, with the line development historically solid in Iowa's program, complemented by the presence of strong depth from transfers.
IS WISCONSIN'S DEFENSE BUILT TO WIN? Full 2026 PREVIEW: Depth Chart, Breakout Stars, Questions!
Q: What is the biggest concern you have for the defense as a whole going into fall camp?
The biggest concern is communication and run-stopping discipline on the edge and in the back end, especially with the turnover and new transfers adjusting to the scheme. If the secondary and edge players can stay cohesive, the defense should remain stout against a tough schedule.
IS WISCONSIN'S DEFENSE BUILT TO WIN? Full 2026 PREVIEW: Depth Chart, Breakout Stars, Questions!
Q: Nick, what are your thoughts on the overall depth and versatility of the inside linebacker group?
It's the strongest position group with multiple players capable of starting at a high level. Posa and Catalano anchor the room, with Kamara and Heiberger providing depth and potential breakout moments, and Aaron Witt adding experience. The unit is deep enough to use multiple packages and keep fresh defenders on the field.
Luke Fickell vs. Lincoln Riley: Can Wisconsin Take Down USC? KNOW YOUR FOE
Q: What are USC fans expecting this season in terms of big picture goals and the conference transition?
USC is aiming for a strong season with a realistic playoff or at least a top-tier finish, balancing expectations between stellar potential and the realities of adjusting to the Big Ten, NIL, and the need for depth, especially on defense and at the skill positions.
