Wisconsin didn't just beat Michigan State — the Badgers dominated them 31-3 at Camp Randall. One week after an incredible 17-point comeback win at Penn State, Wisconsin followed it up by completely controlling Michigan State. Colton Joseph threw three touchdowns and rushed for 141 yards, Jacob Harris caught two scores, the Badgers piled up 228 rushing yards, and the defense held Michigan State to just 235 total yards. So now the conversation changes. Was Michigan State the moment we stopped wondering whether Wisconsin had improved…and started wondering just how good this team can actually become? On today's Bucky Report, Rajeev and Justin break down the blowout win, what continues to change with this Wisconsin offense, another dominant defensive performance, the emergence of young playmakers, and whether the last two weeks are evidence that the Badgers may finally be building something special. Plus, we'll hand out our Helmet Stickers and look ahead at where Wisconsin stands heading into the bye week at 4-1 and 2-0 in the Big Ten. SPECIAL GUEST: NICK OSEN from 247 SPORTS!

Wisconsin gave fans a real reason to believe for one half against Notre Dame, trailing just 13-10 at halftime before the game turned into an all-too-familiar second-half beatdown. On today’s show, we break down what we learned about Colton Joseph, the new-look Wisconsin offense, and Luke Fickell’s team after facing one of the best teams in the country. There were legitimate positives to take away, especially with so many new pieces in key roles, but there were also familiar issues that have followed this program for years: costly mistakes, questionable coaching decisions, and a team that seemed to lose its edge once the deficit grew. So how much should we actually take from this loss to a national title contender? Did the first half show real progress for Wisconsin football, or did the second half reveal that the same old problems are still there? We break it all down on this episode of The Bucky Report.
