The Wisconsin Badgers (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) will travel to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-5, 2-5 Big Ten) at Memorial Stadium on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET, 2:30 p.m. CT. It will be the 18th all-time meeting between the two programs.
The Badgers own a 13-4 overall advantage. They’ve won the last 10 matchups dating back to 2012 — that streak began with Wisconsin defeating Nebraska 70-31 in the Big Ten Championship game in December of 2012.
In that contest, the Badgers compiled 529 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the ground with their three-headed backfield attack. Montee Ball turned 21 carries into 202 yards and three touchdowns, James White had 109 yards and four scores on 15 carries, while Melvin Gordon added nine carries for 216 yards and a touchdown.
Wisconsin fell to No. 1 Oregon 16-13 in Week 12 and they were in a very similar position when they squared off with Nebraska last season, entering the game with a 5-5 overall record. The Badgers knocked off the Cornhuskers in overtime 24-17 at Camp Randall.
Nebraska enters Saturday’s matchup having lost four games in a row after a 5-1 start to the year, dropping their contest against USC 28-20 on the road last weekend.
Although the Badgers have a 13-4 advantage all-time, they are just 4-3 in games against the Cornhuskers on the road, leaving the door open for Nebraska to snap its extensive losing streak.
