They are not alone in the Big Ten as Michigan and Michigan State are also 3-0.

The Badgers were fresh off a successful 15-year run under Barry Alvarez, who had authored one of the great rebuilding projects in the history of the sport, and a successful handoff had been made to Bret Bielema, Alvarez’s hand-picked successor. And I think there’s some good things that both Bart and Alex have done that they’ve got to continue to do well and build on that.

A big game in the Big Ten takes place Saturday when the Wisconsin Badgers head to East Lansing to take on the Michigan State Spartans. “I’m expecting the guys want to play, so they’re going to do what they can to be out on the field”. “I really appreciated being part of those games when I was an assistant”. We’d like to make it a four-quarter game and give ourselves a chance to be in it at the end.

Considering UW’s inefficiency on offense through three games this season, it is easy to see why Chryst has used both quarterbacks.

It starts this weekend with a visit to No. 8 Michigan State.

Finished with 11 or more wins in five of the past six seasons.

Indiana University football players, following the Saturday morning practice that concluded their bye week, joined fans nationwide in watching a lot of games on television. “This is the game I came to Wisconsin to play against a big team like this”. The Spartans will take on the RedHawks on Saturday at 2 p.m.at Ralph Young Field, then welcomes the Buckeyes for a conference matchup on Sunday at 2 p.m. with the game airing on BTN Plus. The Spartans and Badgers are 1-2 in rush defense in the Big Ten. Because the man in charge of the program likes it that way. Clement missed last week’s win after getting hurt in Week 2 against Akron.

“There are times in the game that he tries to do too much”, Meyer said. “It’s going to be a fist fight, and I can’t wait for Saturday”.

Scouting ReportMiami Miami enters the weekend 3-5 on the year and will play at Central Michigan on Friday before coming to East Lansing. “As long as he’s the best in all three, we owe it to our team to have him doing all three duties”.

“But that chip has to come from within”.

I still don’t know quite what to think about Penn State. The Spartans appear to be the more explosive team. The Badgers and Spartans shared the 2010 championship.

Rutgers, which hosts Iowa, is 0-4 against the West Division since joining the Big Ten.

This will be the third time that both teams will be ranked at game time with Michigan State being the higher-ranked team.

“I always felt going into those games, here is a really good football team”, Chryst said. “They’ve been extremely successful under Coach Alvarez”. You can have a best pitcher in baseball and he doesn’t always finish the game.

IN football really has no choice but to get really good. Hornibrook led the Badgers to scores on three drives in the second half and is a more accurate passer than Houston with a nice upside.
