What is your prediction for Saturday?

Lawless Republic: I think that, much like how the LSU and Utah games went, BYU will keep Wisconsin in check for most of the game.  I don’t think the Cougars will allow many big plays, but rather, they’ll likely be gutted by the ground-and-pound of the Badgers.

This could be the kind of game that is 13-7 at halftime, but ends 30-14.  Ultimately, I see it being close for a half but I think the Cougars will get word down by the Badgers in the second half.

For BYU to win, the offense will need to sustain drives to give the defense a break, and score points.  At this point, based on what we’ve seen [from BYU thus far] that seems like a tall order.  I think the Badgers win this one 27-10.

Badger of Honor Reaction: A well grounded take from our friends at Lawless Republic.  This game doesn’t have the feel of a Badger blowout.  Frankly neither Badger blowout thus far even felt like one either.  But the stagnant BYU offense makes it hard to believe the home side will score enough to get a victory.
