Game Preview: Michigan faces critical test in showdown with Wisconsin

The Michigan Wolverines need something (for goodness sake, anything) positive after how the last two weeks have gone, but the task at hand does not get any easier in the fourth game of the season. The Wisconsin Badgers come to town on Saturday night after not playing a game in three weeks and no doubt are fired up to get back on the field.

The Badgers shut down the program after their opening weekend 45-7 victory over Illinois after COVID-19 positives ran rampant through the football team, which included standout quarterback Graham Mertz. Mertz had just finished off a game where he had only a single incompletion and the Badgers flashed potential of one of the most explosive passing offenses in the country.
