Utah State should be feeling as about as good as could be coming into this tough road matchup. \u00a0Last week, in a rare nationally televised game, they beat Utah in overtime. \u00a0They hadn\u2019t beaten the Utes in some time and will look to carry that momentum into Madison. <\/p>\n
Utah State Aggies vs Wisconsin Badgers Matchup<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n These two squads have never faced off and winning on the road is difficult, but after what we saw last week of the Badgers, maybe not as difficult as expected.<\/p>\n The Aggies won in surprising fashion last week shutting down the Utes on the ground and limiting them through the air. \u00a0If they want to have a chance this week though they will need to be more careful though, as they put the ball on the ground 4 times against Utah. \u00a0QB Chuckie Keeton is very athletic. \u00a0If they are going to mount another upset they are going to need him to have another strong game both running and throwing.<\/p>\n This is a hard one to call. \u00a0The reality is Utah State might be perceived higher right now than they will be all season while the opposite is probably true for Wisconsin. \u00a0That might account for as much as 7 or more points of value, making it hard to go with the visiting underdogs.<\/p>\n Its not like they dominated Utah…or that Utah is so great.\u00a0\u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n What has happened to the Badgers? \u00a0They were in a funk in their opener but many linked that to first game jitters even though it was against an FCS opponent. \u00a0Then they lay an egg against Oregon State. \u00a0It is just shocking given the success we have become accustomed to from this program. \u00a0Are these games an indicator or an aberration? \u00a0If they are the former than Utah State definitely has a chance on Saturday night.<\/p>\n This Wisconsin team is night and day from what we are used to. \u00a0I can\u2019t believe I am writing this but they can\u2019t run the ball. \u00a0Sure QB Danny O\u2019Brien is no Russell Wilson but even before Wilson this team was always good for 200+ yards on the ground per game. \u00a0That has been their total over two games.<\/p>\n It is staggering and if it doesn\u2019t improve this team is destined for a very poor season. \u00a0Last week they only rushed for 35 yards total. \u00a0That is usually one drive\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n As stated earlier this is either the best or worst time to get behind the Badgers. \u00a0After two bad games in a row perception may be worse than it has been in a decade but I suppose it is possible that this team is also just not up to snuff.<\/p>\n I think they can cover the number, especially for a home night game that is now as important as any might be – if only for confidence sake.<\/p>\n
