IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Growing up in Franklin, Wisconsin, Macon Plewa’s goal was to play in Camp Randall Stadium more than it was to play for the Badgers.
He will get his wish Saturday when the undefeated University of Iowa football team (4-0) travels to Madison to take on defending Big Ten Conference West Division champion Wisconsin (3-1).
When Plewa was 8 or 9 years old, his grandfather Don VanderVelden, took him to watch Badgers games. VanderVelden lettered for the Wisconsin football team in 1960 and 1961, years when the nationally ranked Hawkeyes posted wins in the series by scores of 28-21 and 47-15.
