Though the 2021-22 season hasn’t gone quite according to plan, the Badgers enter the halfway point with a glimmer of hope.
Along with a 20-14 victory over Army on Saturday, their Big Ten West rival, the number two ranked Iowa Hawkeyes were upset at home by unranked Purdue, 24-7.This loss by Iowa now gives the Badgers control over their own destiny in the Big 10 West.
If Wisconsin can find a way to win out for the rest of the season, they’ll secure a spot in the Big 10 title game. But that’s easier said than done and can’t happen unless the Badgers utilize their most effective players to their advantage.
