Wisconsin vs Nebraska Stats
Wisconsin Badgers
The Wisconsin Badgers once again fell short in a close game, losing 16-13 to top-ranked Oregon after leading 13-6 in the fourth quarter. Despite a strong defensive effort and a solid performance by running back Tawee Walker, the Badgers couldn't maintain their lead and ultimately struggled to finish the game. Quarterback Braedyn Locke's struggles, coupled with offensive miscues and defensive breakdowns, contributed to the loss. Head coach Luke Fickell praised the team's effort but expressed disappointment in their inability to close out games. This defeat adds to a troubling trend for Wisconsin, as they have struggled to hold leads against ranked opponents throughout the season. With a record of 5-5, the Badgers' bowl eligibility is now uncertain with two games remaining. In terms of power rankings, Wisconsin is ranked 63 overall, 93 in offense, and 35 in defense, scoring an average of 25.11 points per game while allowing an average of 21.44 points against them.
Nebraska Cornhuskers Analysis
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have been facing challenges on the field this season, with head coach Matt Rhule expressing frustration over officiating decisions that have seemingly worked against them in critical moments. Despite their own mistakes, the Huskers have been on the receiving end of questionable calls in several games. Coach Rhule has voiced his frustration and deferred discussions with the league to Athletic Director Troy Dannen. The team has areas to improve, such as limiting turnovers and executing in key moments. In their recent game against USC, the Huskers struggled offensively, with quarterback Dylan Raiola throwing for 191 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Despite a strong defensive showing, the Huskers couldn't overcome offensive inefficiency and ultimately suffered a loss. With a power ranking of 69, the team ranks 101st for offense and 22nd for defense, with a season record of 5-5. Against Wisconsin, they have had recent success with a 2-0-1 record in their last three matchups.
Wisconsin Badgers set to face struggling Nebraska Cornhuskers in crucial matchup
The Wisconsin Badgers, currently holding a 5-5 record, have consistently demonstrated their ability to compete against tough opponents, despite recent losses to Penn State, USC, and Oregon. In contrast, the Nebraska Cornhuskers' 5-5 record reflects a team struggling with fundamental weaknesses, especially on offense. Despite the appointment of Dana Holgorsen as offensive coordinator, the Huskers have faced challenges with consistency, particularly evident through quarterback Dylan Raiola's increased turnover rate in recent games. Wisconsin holds a psychological advantage heading into the matchup, having won the last 10 meetings with dominant performances. While Nebraska has shown improvements under Matt Rhule, their lack of bowl appearances since 2016 indicates a program still adjusting to closing out significant games. The pressure is intensified for Nebraska as they require a win for bowl eligibility, historically struggling under Rhule in games with bowl implications.
