Is it all on the defense on Saturday?

Biggest disappointment from The Athletic earlier this month!

At surface level, three losses to teams ranked in the top 13 is nothing for which Wisconsin to be ashamed. However, the manner in which the Badgers (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) have performed — especially on offense — is not up to their standard after debuting at No. 12 in the national polls. With three touchdowns and nine interceptions, the passing game has become a net negative to a team with an elite defense. In the past, the Badgers could rely upon its running game but with last year’s starter Jalen Berger leaving the program and Isaac Guerendo out for the season, even that area has slumped dramatically. There’s still time to make up ground in the Big Ten West, but it’s completely on the defense to keep the Badgers in games.

Iowa at Wisconsin - @TomKakert and Chuck Long joked on the Podcast, first team to 10 points wins.

Which was certainly true in last year's game at Kinnick.



Can the Hawkeyes make it two straight on Saturday?



Iowa fell short 24-22 last go around in Madison.



Can Brian Ferentz get his first as an OC at Iowa?

There will be plenty of critics, as he seeks to help Iowa make it two straight in the Battle for the Heartland Trophy on Saturday.
