Paul Chryst previews B1G showdown vs. Michigan in weekly presser

One of the more intriguing matchups coming up this Saturday is Michigan-Wisconsin.

The game will be played at Madison as the Badgers come into it with a 1-2 record, while the Wolverines come into it with a 4-0 record and as the No. 14 team in the country.

It’s expected that this game will be a lot closer than the one from last season. In that matchup, the Badgers demolished the Wolverines 49-11 as they took a 28-0 lead going into halftime and never looked back.

Wisconsin also beat Michigan in 2019 35-14, and the Wolverines haven’t won against the Badgers since 2018.

Badgers head coach Paul Chryst previewed the game during his weekly press conference on Monday and first started with how great their offense has been.

He then was asked about the Wolverines defense and he likes how fast the unit has gotten.
