5-3 (3-2). . Badgers . 5. team. 809.

It looked like Wisconsin may be done for when they started 1-3, but behind a powerful run game, the Badgers have won four straight.

As just mentioned, they beat Iowa 27-7 on Saturday, in a game that had a lot of significance for the West division standings.

Freshman running back Braelon Allen continues to be a workhorse, as he ran the ball 20 times for 104 yards. Props to Graham Mertz as well, who has dialed back the turnovers, which has been a huge difference for this team.

The Badgers are in control of their own destiny, something no one would’ve believed a month ago. Rutgers is up next for Wisconsin.
