GAME BREAKDOWN

KEY MATCHUP: Illinois quarterback AJ Bush Jr. vs. Wisconsin’s secondary. After a rough performance last week against Purdue, Bush has an even tougher test against Wisconsin’s hungry defense. The good news, for Bush, is that the Badgers’ secondary has five players listed as questionable, including safety D’Cota Dixon.

Although Bush is a senior, he has limited big-game experience. After committing to Nebraska, he transferred following two years of not seeing the field. Last season, he played in five games for Virginia Tech. A dual-threat quarterback, Bush will have a tough job against Wisconsin’s front seven, so look for the Badgers to pressure Bush into making bad throws.

DRAFT SLANT

–LB T.J. Edwards, a preseason All-American, has taken his game up a notch in the last two weeks. Edwards has 17 tackles and three sacks in the last two games.

ROSTER REPORT:

–S Scott Nelson is questionable for the Illinois game with a right leg injury.

–S D’Cota Dixon is also questionable with a left leg injury.

–DE Isaiahh Loudermilk will miss his second consecutive game with a left leg injury.

–LB Griffin Grady is questionable to play with a right leg injury.

–CB Travian Blaylock is questionable with a right leg injury.
