Badgers ready for revenge against Illinois: “Absolutely 100% personal”

The Wisconsin Badgers are heading into Week 8 set to face off against the Illinois Fighting Illini, currently standing at 4-2 (2-1 in conference play).

Meanwhile, their opponents come into the contest with a 3-4 record (1-3 in conference play), but are fresh off an upset 27-24 road victory over the Maryland Terrapins.

For Wisconsin, this game is not only an opportunity to get back on track after a disappointing loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes last weekend, but it also provides the team an opportunity for revenge after their matchup with Illinois had significant implications last season.
