Nebraska vs Wisconsin, How to Watch: Game Time, TV, Streaming, Odds, and More

The last game for Nebraska (November 2nd) ended in heartbreak as the Huskers had the lead in the final five minutes, but were unable to stop Purdue from scoring. They were also unable to drive the field in the final minute to score.

Last week the Huskers had a bye and hopefully that extra week will have them ready to put on their best showing of the year, as the Wisconsin Badgers are coming to Lincoln.

The Badgers are 7-2 and ranked 15th in both the AP and The Coaches Poll and are coming off a 24-22 win over Iowa last week. They are led by running back Jonathon Taylor, who has 1.259 yards on the year, which has him ranked third in the country.

Wisconsin also has a stout defense, allowing just over 230 yards per game. The defense is led by inside linebacker Jack Sanborn.

Quotables

Head Coach Scott Frost on playing Wisconsin

“You can’t count on getting 80 plays like you would in a lot of games. You better try and do what you can do in 55 plays. That’s their brand of football and they’re good at it.”

On the team beating itself

“We’re all tired of it. I wish the team had just a little more conviction to just get it done at times and wish we would get to a point where some of the mistakes aren’t happening.”

JoJo Domann on Wisconsin Running Back Jonathon Taylor

“He can slip through these tight gaps that big o-linemen help create and he’s just a workhorse. You’ve got to gang tackle him, you’ve really got to knife him, wrap him up. You can’t hit him up top, you can’t really take him down with your arms.”

Defensive Coordinator Erik Chinander on the game vs. Wisconsin

“If everybody did their job every play on defense, we probably win three more games. And I’m sure it’s the same way on offense and special teams. But everybody needs to do their job every play. In this type of game, everybody needs to play in their gap. Everybody needs to execute. Or that guy gets a crack this big and she’s over.”
