GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Wisconsin’s pass defense ranks No. 25 in the nation, allowing just 172.8 yards per game to opponents. With Martinez coming off an impressive performance against Purdue, the Badgers will be sure to dial in against the Cornhuskers receivers. Nebraska still ranks No. 87 in the FBS in passing offense (207.3 yards per game), so the needle points in favor of Wisconsin in this matchup.
DRAFT SLANT
–WR Stanley Morgan: The second-leading receiver from a week ago, Morgan hauled in four catches for 69 yards against Purdue. Undoubtedly one of Nebraska’s best draft prospects at 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, Morgan will be another point of emphasis for both Martinez and the Badgers’ defense.
ROSTER REPORT:
–LB Will Honas (undisclosed) is out for the season.
–DL Mick Stoltenberg (knee) is out indefinitely.
–RB Maurice Washington (illness) is probable against Wisconsin after missing the Purdue game.
–OL Cole Conrad (knee) is questionable for Wisconsin.
–DB Cam Taylor (shoulder) is questionable for Wisconsin.
