Wisconsin will enter the matchup after a tough loss to No. 3 Penn State in Week 9. The Badgers led 10-7 at halftime and were trending toward a season-altering upset victory. The Nittany Lions dominated after the halftime break, however, and reinforced their place as one of the best teams in the conference — even doing so without star QB Drew Allar.

Iowa, meanwhile, defeated Northwestern 40-16 in Week 9. It has had an up-and-down season to date, with blowout wins over Minnesota, Northwestern and Washington, plus demoralizing losses to Michigan State and Ohio State.

One interesting note: Iowa benched QB Cade McNamara during its win over Northwestern. It moved to backup Brendan Sullivan, who had transferred in from Northwestern last offseason.

The Hawkeyes trailed 7-5 at the time of the change. Sullivan led an instant turnaround, en route to the 40-16 triumph.

Saturday will be Wisconsin’s third primetime matchup of the season. The result could come close to defining the team’s season.
