The Badgers lost, 17-7, to Minnesota at Huntington Bank Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 29, to close the 2025 season with a 4-8 record and a 2-7 mark in the Big Ten that ties it for 14th place among the 18 teams.

The work, however, isn't done for Luke Fickell and his staff. High school signing day is Wednesday and the transfer portal officially opens next month.
