Wisconsin Football: Best Case, Worst Case, and Most Likely Scenarios vs.

Wisconsin · Rutgers

Are the Badgers on upset alert against Rutgers? In what some have called the most disappointing loss of the Luke Fickell era, the Wisconsin Badgers were bludgeoned by an Iowa Hawkeyes team that simply wanted it more on the way to a humiliating 30-point drubbing, robbing all the goodwill Wisconsin had banked the week before by beating then-No. 16 USC 24-7.

But they should have stayed within 30 points of Iowa, too. I simply don't know when the next malodorous egg gets laid by this up-and-down squad.

The cynic in me says this would be Wisconsin not getting embarrassed, but I'm going to aim a bit higher here. I see a world where the Badgers come in angry and wounded after getting ridiculously pantsed at Iowa and really take it to Rutgers.

While I don't think this offense is capable of putting up big numbers, we finally see some chunk plays, keyed by whoever starts at quarterback (my money is on the freshman), while the defense creates a few turnovers and generally has their way with an offense missing its best player, stud wide receiver KJ Duff. But it's a worst-case thing, so here we are.

KEY POINTS

  • Wisconsin Football: Best Case, Worst Case, and Most Likely Scenarios vs. Rutgers.
  • I'd say yes to all, and do so not even knowing who will start at quarterback against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights this weekend.
  • With all those positives out of the way, let's turn to my Best Case, Worst Case, and Most Likely Scenarios for Badgers/Scarlet Knights.
  • Worst Case I feel the need for a disclaimer here: I don't think this will happen.
