Can Wisconsin’s offense finally take off in 2026?

In this full Wisconsin football offensive preview, Rajeev and Justin break down Jeff Grimes’ system, what the Badgers’ offensive identity should look like, and whether Colton Joseph can unlock the version of this offense Wisconsin fans have been waiting to see.

We project the depth chart at quarterback, offensive line, running back, wide receiver and tight end—identifying the biggest strength and concern at every position. Plus, we hand out offensive superlatives, predict the run-pass split, name potential breakout players and debate who may be overrated, underrated and under the most pressure.

Can Wisconsin establish a clear identity, produce more explosive plays and finally become a dangerous Big Ten offense? Or will the same questions follow the Badgers into another season?
