Double digit favorites on the road, the Badgers could be set to make its return in the rankings.
With Northern Illinois' 32-27 win over No. 20 Toledo on Tuesday, the Badgers have an opening to return to the top 25 with a win over Maryland on Saturday. A successful day for the Badgers would lead fans of the 26th highest vote getter to look for something new to lament. Would it be Joel Stave-related? What about the injuries? Could there be something recruiting related to make the fanbase conflicted?
Either way, the Badgers are bringing their mostly healthy defense (the only starter who is set to miss the game is inside linebacker Chris Orr) against a passing game that is currently 114th in the Nation, And coming off the destruction of Rutgers signal caller Chris Laviano, they're facing a quarterback in Perry Hills that is currently completing a shade over 52 percent of his passes and has 10 interceptions thrown against seven touchdowns.
