The Wisconsin Badgers enter their bye week with a 3-1 record and 1-0 mark in Big Ten play.
This bye week is a clear line in the schedule, with out-of-conference play on the front end and now a Big Ten gauntlet on the horizon. The Badgers return to a matchup with Rutgers, a huge game against Iowa, a sneaky trip to Illinois and then a season-defining battle with Ohio State.
Hopefully for Luke Fickell, this bye week gives the team additional time to figure out its occasional issues on defense and continue to get Phil Longo’s offense operating on all cylinders. The team will need to round into form starting next week for a Big Ten West title to be realistic.
