After picking up a truly astonishing road win over No. 13 Penn State, the Badgers have a tremendous opportunity to roll into their bye week 4-1 with a 2-0 mark in conference play.
Standing in their way? The Michigan State Spartans, now led by former legendary Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald.
Wisconsin is expected to be able to handle its business against Michigan State, but the game is also expected to be rather close for comfort in what should be a refreshingly raucous environment in Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.
