Previewing the Wisconsin Badgers ahead of Nebraska’s Week 12 matchup

A closer look at Nebraska’s Week 12 opponent, the Wisconsin Badgers.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will look to snap a two-game losing streak this weekend when they take on the Wisconsin Badgers in Madison on Saturday evening.

The Badgers have dominated the series between the two programs, winning 12 of 16 matchups including each of the last nine dating back to 2012. Last season, the Badgers won an ugly one in Lincoln 15-14.

The Cornhuskers are 5-5 this season and 3-4 in conference play after suffering back-to-back losses to Michigan State and Maryland. It’s the program’s second two-game losing streak this season, also losing two straight to start the season against Minnesota and Colorado.

Wisconsin’s season started strong with a 4-1 record but has struggled of late as injuries have piled up. Luke Fickell’s program has lost four of their last five including three straight to Ohio State, Indiana, and Northwestern.

Now that the table has been set, here’s what to know about the Buckeyes ahead of Saturday’s matchup.
