The Heartland Trophy is on the line today. Since 2010, the No. 13 (CFP) Wisconsin Badgers (6-2 overall, 3-2 B1G) have only lost once to the No. 18 Iowa Hawkeyes (6-2 overall, 3-2 B1G) and that was because Joel Stave tripped over his offensive lineman’s foot on the goal line and...you know what? We aren’t getting into that today. I’m sorry for even bringing it up. That’s on me.
The Badgers, coming off a bye week, are on a two-game losing streak that includes a predictable loss at Ohio State and a wildly unpredictable loss at Illinois.
