The Brewers Are No Longer on Fumes, and Green Bay Doesn’t Quit

In this week's episode of The Wisconsin Sportscast, Lucas and Oates remember their favorite Mike Ditka memories. 

• The Brewers are up 2-0 against the Dodgers as of recording, handing it to them so badly the Dodgers are considering benching Ohtani. The Dodger’s biggest weak point, Lucas and Oates think, is the Brewers bullpen. After a historic outing Monday night, it’s clear that everyone in the bullpen is a threat. In the past, Brewers pitchers have run on fumes in the post season; this year’s a different story. 

• The Packers showed new life as they pummeled the Bears Sunday. The Bears talked a big game about making them quit, but the Packers played an all around good football game. Jordan Love was even protected, giving him a chance to show that he can be a great quarterback when given the chance.

• The Badgers Football Team gets back into action this Sunday as they face UCLA in primetime. UCLA may be without their starting quarterback, but that just means they’ll be upping their formidable running game. Lucas and Oates think this game will be a great test for the Badgers’ defensive line; they’ll need to get physical if they want to slow down their running game.
