The Wisconsin Badgers bring an undefeated record and #9 ranking to Lincoln this week. The Badgers opened the season with a 59-10 victory over Utah State (now 3-2), followed by a 31-14 win over Florida Atlantic (now 2-3) then a 40-6 victory at BYU (now 1-4 without Tanner Magnum at quarterback). Last Saturday, Wisconsin held off Northwestern 33-24 to open Big Ten conference action.
Sophomore tailback Bradrick Shaw injured his knee in the season opener, opening the door for true freshman sensation Jonathan Taylor (5’11” 214 lbs.), whose 129.5 rushing yards per game leads the Big Ten and ranks tenth nationally.
