Coming off an absolute gut punch of a loss to Iowa, the Wisconsin Badgers (4-2, 2-1 in the Big Ten) and new starting QB Braedyn Locke head to Champaign, Illinois to play Bret Bielema’s Illinois Fighting Illini (3-4 Overall, 1-3 in the Big Ten).
While this season has been a huge struggle on both sides of the ball for Illinois, they showed some fight last weekend in College Park, emerging with a 27-24 gut-check upset win over the Maryland Terrapins, which has to have them liking their chances vs. Wisconsin this week.
