What’s at stake?
This might be Rutgers’ best chance to beat the Badgers. Wisconsin lost starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to a knee injury early in the season and then had top top running back Chez Mellusi step away from the team recently in attempt to heal from injuries. The Scarlet Knights are 8-2 at home since 2023 and few teams have found a way to stop Kyle Monangai and Rutgers’ running game.
Key matchup
Rutgers offensive line vs. Badgers pass rush. Rutgers lost veteran starting left guard Bryan Felter to a knee injury in the win over Washington two weeks ago. Taj White got the start and his first action at that position against Nebraska and had a tough time, giving up at least five pressures and perhaps two sacks. He has to improve or Dantae Chin will replace him. Nebraska exploited the position last week. Wisconsin needs to do the same.
