Nebraska hosts No. 9 Wisconsin on Saturday night intent on breaking through against a pesky division rival.
The Badgers escaped Lincoln two years ago with a victory on a late field goal and prevailed last year in overtime. The Freedom Trophy, only in its fourth year, knows only Madison as home.
Nebraska (3-2, 2-0 Big Ten) can do more than win a conference trophy game if it upends Wisconsin (4-0, 1-0). The Huskers could also take the steering wheel in the race for the Big Ten West title, one Wisconsin claimed last season.
Plenty of ties exist between these Big Ten foes.
