Location: Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin

Wisconsin will play host to Iowa in this contest and is coming off of three straight losses. Most recently, the Badgers fell 24-10 on the road against No. 20 Michigan this past week.

Wisconsin’s offense has struggled through the first half of this season, ranking just 111th in the FBS with 20.8 points per game. They have scored only 10 points in both of their Big Ten games to start this season.

Of course, some of that has to do with the fact that starting quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. went down with an injury in the season opener and has hardly played since. He started in the Big Ten opener against Maryland on Sept. 20, but left after one series. It’s uncertain as of this writing whether he’ll be available against Iowa.

As for the Hawkeyes, they had a bye this past week. Before that, they gave No. 11 Indiana all it could handle but lost 20-15 in Week 5. It was their second loss of the season with the other coming in a 16-13 loss to rival Iowa State in Week 2.

Once again, Iowa’s defense looks to be its strength and so far ranks sixth in the country in stopping the run with 69.4 ground yards allowed per game. It is also 23rd in scoring defense with 15.6 points allowed per game.

Saturday’s contest will mark the 99th time in history that Iowa and Wisconsin have met in football. The Badgers hold a narrow 49-47-2 all-time advantage in the series, but it is the Hawkeyes who have won three straight as well as four of the past five meetings. They’ll hope that trend continues.
