Nebraska, Penn State Shine in Week 4 Big Ten Power Rankings
Saturday Blitz Big Ten Power Rankings Week 4
4. Wisconsin Badgers, 2-1 (0-0), Defeated Bowling Green Falcons 68-17 Last Saturday
It looks like the Badgers don’t have to throw the ball at all to win. In fact, if they had any decent coaching, they would just give the ball to Melvin Gordon every play and see what happens. Going away from that is the reason that they have their only loss on the season.
This team has an incredible running game and great offensive line, as Wisconsin usually does. They may not have any major wins on the resume yet, but the close loss to LSU had everything to do with poor coaching and poor quarterback play.
If the Badgers stick to the running game throughout the season and only use McEvoy to keep defenses honest and force them to respect the running game, then they should have no problem going forward. A game against South Florida this weekend gives this team the chance to move to 3-1 before they begin their conference play against Northwestern next week. Right now this looks like one of the best teams in the conference, so it’s definitely a Big Ten title contender.
