The No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers face the undefeated, No. 15 Western Michigan Broncos in the Cotton Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Jan. 2.
It will be just about a month after UW’s disappointing 38-31 loss to Penn State in the Big Ten Championship Game, when the Badgers built a 21-point lead only to succumb to an aerial attack led by quarterback Trace McSorley.
Wisconsin’s defense will have to face another potent offense that features a quarterback in Zack Terrell who threw just three interceptions all season and a wide receiver in Corey Davis who caught 91 passes in 2016 and is the FBS all-time leader in receiving yards.
