After posting a 3-1 record in non-conference play, the Wisconsin football team opens Big Ten play against Iowa in a battle for the Heartland Trophy. Here are three questions to consider for Saturday’s conference opener:
How will the UW running game stack up against their first Big Ten opponent?
Redshirt freshman tailback Taiwan Deal has steadily improved over the last three games for the Badgers, gaining a total of 277 yards over that time.
Now, seeing as though he only managed six carries for 14 yards against Alabama in week one, Saturday’s matchup against Iowa will be Deal’s first real challenge of the season at the head of Wisconsin’s rushing attack.
