Seriously. Maybe contend OR maybe the program implodes from the inside out. Fickell making some incredibly risky moves, big divergence from traditional approach.
We all know Fickell is a proven winner, he's brought in top-tier assistants from across the country, the administration is now fully backing the program - providing unprecedented resources and adapting to NIL - and he's already bringing in better talent than Wisconsin has ever sniffed at skill positions.
But then you need to step back and ask yourself, is this enough to compete with the Gophers? Personally, I don't think so.
