After a nightmarish early two-game stretch in which the Wisconsin Badgers lost brutal contests to the Alabama Crimson Tide and USC Trojans (as well as their starting quarterback), things seemed a bit bleak as far as a successful 2024 season. Many saw three or four wins (or fewer) as the team’s ceiling going forward.
But, after back-to-back-to-back impressive outings in which they outscored Purdue, Rutgers, and Northwestern by a combined 117-16 to get to 5-2, Wisconsin’s outlook is suddenly looking a lot brighter.
Next up is the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions, who stand at 6-0 and are having a very impressive campaign, looking locked and loaded to make a run at a Big Ten title down the stretch.
