The Nebraska game

Super Badger
Again will be a bellwether for Jimmy. I wonder how the boys will play. Are they inspired enough to make it to the Crap Bowl? Will the offense actually be able to do anything this week? Will Mertz look more like the QB he was at NU? Lot's of questions as Jimmy has a lot on his plate while getting his ass kicked by CM.

  • With the win over the Cornhuskers, UW has now claimed 26 of its last 31 games when a traveling trophy is on the line.
  • The Badger defense logged its 5th straight multi-sack performance. That’s the longest streak for UW since 2019.
  • Trailing 14-3 entering the final quarter, Wisconsin pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback win, its first since Nov. 17, 2018 when the Badgers pulled off a 47-44 triple overtime win at Purdue.
  • Wisconsin ran for 235 yards against Nebraska, marking its fourth game with at least 200 yards on the ground.
  • In the 11 meetings since the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten, the Badgers are averaging 301.1 rushing yards per game.
  • The Badgers limited Nebraska to 171 total yards, the Cornhuskers second-fewest of the season.
  • Wisconsin limited Nebraska to just 65 yards on the ground, the Cornhuskers second-fewest rushing yards this season.
  • Wisconsin has now held its opponent under 100 yards for the 5th time this season. That matches the team’s total from last season.

  • Wisconsin allowed only one first down on the Huskers’ opening drive, which ended in a punt. Wisconsin has only allowed an opening drive score in one game this season (Ohio State) and has not allowed an opponent to travel 20+ yards on their opening drive since Oct. 8 at Northwestern.
