When Wisconsin met Michigan State on October 22nd in East Lansing, it owned a perfect 6-0 record
and a No. 6 ranking. The Badgers were unable to escape the Spartans clutches, though, falling 31-37 when MSU scored on a last second, Hail Mary touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Keith Nichol.
Wisconsin's Russell Wilson turned in a decent performance, completing 14-of-21 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns but he also threw two costly interceptions. The Badgers also rushed for 220 yards on 41 carries with Montee Ball doing most of the damage (18 carries, 115 yards, one touchdown).
The 10-2 Badgers (6-2 conference) followed up their setback at Michigan State with a stunning 29-33 setback to the Buckeyes in Columbus. However, Wilson and company have rebounded from those two losses and ride a four game win streak into Saturday's game. Wisconsin closed out its regular season schedule last Saturday, wrapping up the Leaders' title with a 45-7 thrashing of Penn State.
Michigan State (10-2, 7-1 conference) fell at Nebraska following its upset of Wisconsin, but, like the Badgers, the Spartans carry a four game win streak into tomorrow's championship showdown. MSU took out Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, and Northwestern to secure the Legends Division crown. The Spartans outscored their final four opponents by an average of 39-16.
Despite Michigan State's win over Wisconsin, Bret Bielema will bring the more well rounded team to Lucas Oil Stadium. The Badgers rank 12th in the nation in yards per game while the Spartans are a distant 64th. And while Michigan State owns the nation's third best defense (266.7 yards per game), Wisconsin sits seventh, giving up an average of 278 yards per contest.
