The Badgers will need a marquee performance from another of players to win on Saturday.
It’s finally gameday, as the Wisconsin Badgers are set to take on the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, looking to play spoiler and hand their opponents their first loss of the season.
Wisconsin, standing at 5-2, has seen its fair share of ups and downs this season, and has a big chance to prove themselves here at Camp Randall Stadium, whereas Penn State has pulled off a few close victories to start 6-0.
The Badgers are seen as 6.5-point underdogs in this one, so oddsmakers believe that they do have the chance to pull off an upset for the ages.
But, in order to do that, they’ll need a number of players to step up. Who will be the X-Factor for the Badgers on Saturday?
In our weekly reacts poll, over 50 percent of fans believe that the offensive line will be the tone-setter, which makes sense given how dominant Penn State is with their defensive front, whereas their offensive unit has done well enough in both aspects of the game.
Quarterback Braedyn Locke nearly got a quarter of the votes, as he’ll need a big performance that includes zero turnovers that’s the tough element on Saturday.
Wisconsin knows they’ll need everything in the bag to pull off an upset here at Camp Randall Stadium. But, for them to be able to play at a high level, they’ll need to depend on the trench play, which will be the X-Factor for Saturday’s game.
