Wisconsin travels to Champaign, Illinois as it looks to bounce back from last week’s demoralizing loss to Iowa. The Badgers sit 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in Big Ten play, and still technically have a shot at the Big Ten West if the team can string several wins together.
Looming next week is a showdown with top-ranked Ohio State. A win will be a tough task, though it goes without saying the Badgers must beat the Illini to make that game even matter.
It’s a revenge spot for Wisconsin after last year’s loss to Illinois, it’s a pseudo-revenge spot for former Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema and former defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard.
But even with backup quarterback Braedyn Locke under center, it’s a game the Badgers should win.
