This is a major letdown spot for Wisconsin. They spent 2 weeks prepping for Oregon only to get their heart ripped out of their bodies. They’ve beaten NU 10 times in a row and I venture to think nobody on the Wisconsin side is really taking the threat of losing to NU seriously.

Nebraska is so close. We have repeatedly bounced back from losses to play extremely competitive games, especially with bowl eligibility on the line (7 of 8 losses in a row with 5 wins are by 1 score). We also are in a major revenge spot after last year’s game @ Wisconsin.

Locke is terrible. Badgers had 226 yards of offense against Oregon with less than 100 passing and ran for 3.8 YPC. They also threw a pick and had 8 penalties. This is the game for us to win and get back to bowl eligibility. They are essentially a slightly better version of Rutgers who we pretty soundly beat in 45mph winds and who had a better RB than anyone Wisconsin has on their roster.

Nebraska HAS to get up early. If we can get up 10-0 or something along those lines (or 14-0 like we did against Rutgers) and make Wisconsin have to start trying to throw against us that is a recipe for a Nebraska win.

I’m going with NU 17 Wisconsin 13. I could see us scoring 14 in the first half and tacking on another 3 sometime in the fourth quarter and then holding on for dear life to get the win. Wisconsin gets sacked driving to try to win and we knee it out and the place goes berserk.

Side note - I will be in LNK for this game, only game this year. Let’s get this W.
 
Wisconsin is very beatable and in a bit of turmoil. Nebraska should and will win this one.

Nebraska 27 Wisconsin 19
