University of Wisconsin sophomore left tackle Gabe Carimi wants to be part of the solution.
But it’s going to take a change in the mistake-filled culture that dragged down the Badgers this season, leading to a 7-6 finish and a humbling 42-13 loss to Florida Staten Saturday in the Champs Sports Bowl.
“Spring ball,” Carimi said firmly, when asked how to stop what is now a two-year downward slide under coach Bret Bielema. “I think we need to preach more â?? I feel to the bottom of my heart â?? we’ve never been known for having the best talent. But we’ve been known for doing things right. Too many times this year, we had too many mental errors. That isn’t how Wisconsin has played.
