Wisconsin Badgers fly west to face Nebraska on Saturday

(WNFL) – The Wisconsin Badgers will do battle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday in an important game for both teams.

• With a win, Wisconsin could become bowl eligible. Wisconsin would extend it’s active bowl streak to 22 seasons, the 3rd-longest streak in the nation. Wisconsin has earned bowl eligibility with wins over Nebraska in each of the last 2 seasons.
• Wisconsin has won 10 straight meetings with Nebraska, including all 9 since the Freedom Trophy was introduced in 2014. UW is 11-1 against Nebraska since the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten in 2011. The Badgers have won 4 straight meetings in Lincoln.
• Looking to extend it’s 22-year bowl streak, Wisconsin could earn its 6th  win Saturday versus Nebraska. The Badgers and Cornhuskers battled for bowl-eligibility last season, and the Badgers prevailed in OT at Camp Randall, 24-17.
• Back in Lincoln… The Badgers are looking for their 5th-straight win in Lincoln over the
  Cornhuskers. The Badgers last lost at Memorial Stadium in 2012 – Nebraska’s last win in the series.
• Wisconsin’s 4-game win streak in Lincoln is its 2nd longest active win streak on the road against a Big Ten opponent (at Purdue, 9).
• Nebraska has thrown for only 2 TDs over the last 5 games. UW will look to keep the Cornhusker passing attack under wraps. The Badgers have allowed 3 passing TDs since
  the end of September, tied for the fewest in the Big Ten (Ohio State).
• Following this week’s meeting, Nebraska and Wisconsin are not scheduled to meet in the 2025 or 2026 seasons.
• Nebraska’s last victory was in the 2012 regular season when Nebraska rallied from a 17-point deficit for a 30-27 victory in Lincoln. The teams had a rematch in the 2012 Big Ten Championship Game with Wisconsin coming out on top.
• This will mark the third straight meeting in the series pitting unranked teams, after one of two teams was ranked in 13 of the previous 14 meetings.
• Nebraska’s victories in 1965 and 1966 featured linebacker Barry Alvarez who went on to be Wisconsin’s head coach and athletic director.
