The rest of the offense looks like typical Wisconsin, with a talented running back in junior Corey Clement lining up behind a solid offensive line. While the Badgers’ defense got shredded by the Buckeyes in the Big Ten title game, there is plenty of talent returning from that battle-tested group.

If the Badgers find one guy who can get the job done, this game could be an instant classic. If not, Nebraska could cruise to an early lead in the race for the West.

Nebraska vs. Wisconsin

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 10, Big Ten

While this is most experts’ projection for the top game in the Big Ten West, 2015 looks like the season Minnesota could emerge as the front-runner in the division after a few years in the shadows of the Badgers and Huskers.

That said, Wisconsin will be right there, too and could have the pieces to win the West again. The looming question, however, is whether any Badgers QB on the roster can get the job done. Senior Joel Stave was uninspiring last season, completing just 53.4 percent of his passes with more interceptions (10) than touchdowns (9). Athlete Tanner McEvoy pushed Stave for playing time under center in 2014, but it seems that Wisconsin prefers to have him start at safety, where he played in the Outback Bowl.
