Wisconsin heads to Piscataway, New Jersey tomorrow to take on head coach Greg Schiano and the 4-4 Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Rutgers enters the game 1-4 in conference play, its lone win a 20-14 triumph over Illinois last weekend. The Scarlet Knights did play Michigan tight on the road, though, and have shown some flashes of good play against Big Ten opponents.

Wisconsin, on the other hand, has now won four straight contests including three straight in-conference. It has done it on the backs of a complete reversal in turnover differential, continued dominant defense and the emergence of freshman running back Braelon Allen.
On paper, Wisconsin dominates most meaningful categories entering the game. The Badgers have also never lost to Rutgers—3-0 since the Scarlet Knights joined the Big Ten.
Methinks Rutgers will have a bit of a tough time moving the ball consistently on Saturday…
