The Badgers have dominated this series since Nebraska joined the B1G in 2011. They’ve won five of six meetings, including a 70-31 victory in the 2012 B1G Championship Game.
The last two meetings have come down to the wire but Wisconsin has prevailed each time. Two years ago, the Badgers won 23-21 after a late field goal. Last season, Wisconsin pulled through at Camp Randall Stadium in overtime.
Saturday’s game is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.
