Saturday October 7th: Wisconsin @ Nebraska

The Badgers and Huskers have combined some explosive matchups in their short shared time together in the Big Ten.

2011: Russell Wilson welcome Nebraska to the Big Ten with a 48-17 triumph under the lights at Camp Randall
2012: The Badgers cough up a 17-point lead losing 30-27 in Lincoln
2012: Wisconsin got some revenge playing nearly perfect football crushing Nebraska 70-31 in the Big Ten Championship game. Turns out, this was Bret Bielema’s last game as Wisconsin coach as he bolted for Arkansas soon after the victory.
2014: Wisconsin won 59-24 which was a footnote considering Melvin Gordon III ran for 408 yards and 4 TDs on just 25 carries. Oh yeah, he did it all in just three quarters of work.
2015: Wisconsin pull one out of the fire escaping Lincoln with a 23-21 win on a Rafael Gaglianone 46-yard FG at the gun.
2016: The Badgers put themselves into position to win the Big Ten West (Leaders? Legends?) beating Nebraska 23-17 in OT in Madison.
