Wisconsin football just won its most classically Wisconsin game all season in its upset over No. 16 USC. Despite passing for just 58 yards, the Badgers thoroughly manhandled the Trojans.
There's a lot of reasons why Wisconsin versus Iowa is one of the most intriguing rivalries in college football. First of all, there's the history. These teams played for the first time in 1894 and have totaled 99 matchups in the series; Saturday on Halloween will be the 100th meeting between these bitter rivals.
Wisconsin's offensive line has been a continuous work-in-progress throughout the 2026 campaign. 12 Players have seen the field, while eight players have played at least 60 snaps.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you Nolan Winter should be one of the top 10 players in college basketball. I don't even know that I'd put him in the top 25 right now.
Throughout the offseason, Wisconsin basketball dealt with injuries to its two starting forwards Nolan Winter and Austin Rapp. Winter underwent ankle surgery after the 2025-26 campaign and was held off the court for a large portion of the offseason.
It's finally Iowa week. The battle for the Heartland Trophy has been a massacre at the hands of the Hawkeyes for two straight seasons, and Iowa has won four in a row in this series — the 72-pound brass bull trophy that's resided in Iowa City since 2022 is arguably the biggest albatross around the Wisconsin football program's neck.
Former Wisconsin Badgers cornerback Nyzier Fourqurean has been released from the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad, ending his initial run with the team after a long, winding path from Division II to the NFL.
I'll admit it. Wisconsin's win over USC changed the way I'm looking at this team. I wasn't sure what to make of the Badgers after that 17-7 loss to UCLA.
Wisconsin's dominant defensive effort in the Badgers' win over No. 16 USC was largely due to the well-known stalwarts of defensive coordinator Mike Tressel's unit.
Fresh off a frustrating road loss to UCLA, Wisconsin (5-2, 3-1) returned home Saturday and responded with an emphatic 24-7 victory over No. 16 USC (6-2, 3-2).
We just witnessed arguably the best defensive performance we've seen yet in the Mike Tressel era in Madison. We knew the Badgers had a great defense, but no one could've predicted what unfolded Saturday night in Madison.
Wisconsin needed a big win against a daunting foe Saturday night in Camp Randall Stadium. That's exactly what it got, pushing No. 16 USC around all night in a cathartic victory for a Badgers' team that was reeling after a rough loss on the road at UCLA.
At a glance, the Badgers' clash with 6-1, No. 16-ranked USC looks like it should be an open and shut case of a good team (the Trojans) taking care of business against, through half the season, what's proven to be a mediocre team (the Badgers).
There's one number ahead of Wisconsin's huge showdown with No. 16 USC that has me disproportionately concerned. It's not Trojans' quarterback Jayden Maiava's 2,045 passing yards or 20 total touchdowns.
The Wisconsin men's basketball program has enjoyed a good amount of success under the direction of head coach Greg Gard. In his 11 seasons as head coach of the Badgers, Gard has compiled a 237-128 record, winning nearly 65 percent of his games.
It's a known fact at this point that head coach Greg Gard and Wisconsin basketball have done more with less, budget-wise, in recent seasons. The college basketball arms race keeps getting exponentially pricier, while most schools simply don't have the deep pockets to keep pace.
When the Wisconsin Badgers went down 17-0 on the road against No. 13-ranked Penn State, it felt like every other letdown performance in a big game since the arrival of head coach Luke Fickell.
It's that exciting time of year when college football is back, baby. The games are already in full swing, and football Saturdays are a very real thing right now.
