After Ohio State and Michigan State each turned in wins early in the day, the No. 7 Badgers (7-1 Big Ten, 11-1 overall) had to keep pace.
It would be hard to give the Badger running backs and offensivelinemen too much credit for No. 5 Wisconsin's 10-1 record and position as the current favorite to represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl.
While Wisconsin may have been the better team on paper, there is no such thing as a sure victory in the Big House. But after having gone winless in Michigan Stadium since 1994, UW was on a mission and stayed focused throughout 60 minutes of play. The Badgers' 48-28 win over the Wolverines now puts Wisconsin at 10-1 with a 6-1 record in the Big Ten, good for a share of first place in the Big Ten.
Bret Bielema handed out personal honors on the offensive and defensive ends Monday during his weekly press conference, while also looking ahead to the Badgers' contest this Saturday against Northwestern.
I know, I know, I'm sick of talking about the BCS system as much as you are.
Immediately following the Badgers' 83-20 trouncing of Indiana last Saturday, accusations of poor sportsmanship began to rain down upon head coach Bret Bielema and his team.
Coaches come in all sorts of sizes, shapes and degrees of polarization. Last week, I took up this space talking about how boring Packer head coach Mike McCarthy is. In the same couple of days, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan donned blonde locks and added some padding to his belly (which is already sufficiently padded) to make fun of his brother, Rob, who is the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns—the Jets' opponent last Sunday.
In his weekly press conference Monday, head coach Bret Bielema praised some of the key players in Saturday's 83-20 trouncing of Indiana and previewd the Badgers' upcoming game against Big Ten rival Michigan.
Returning home on a cold, blustery day at Camp Randall, the No. 7 Wisconsin offense caught fire as UW cruised to an 83-20 victory over the Indiana Hoosiers.
By the time junior third-string quarterback Nate Tice plunged into the endzone on a 17-yard bootleg with 1:57 showing on the clock, the only question that remained was whether 83 push-ups would be too much for Bucky to handle.

Wisconsin football head coach Bret Bielema discussed both his team's 34-13 victory over Purdue this past weekend, as well as the Badgers' (4-1 Big Ten, 8-1 overall) upcoming contest against Indiana during his weekly press conference Monday.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.—Coming off its bye week, No. 7 Wisconsin (4-1 Big Ten, 8-1 overall) turned in a half-full performance in a half-hostile environment, but used three second half interceptions to beat Purdue (2-3, 4-5) 34-13 in West Lafayette, Ind.

Not sure if you're aware of this, but this weekend is Halloween and here in Madison the holiday is rather important. I'm guessing most people have already picked their costume(s) for Friday and Saturday nights, but for those still wondering I'm here to help with some distinctly Wisconsin costumes.
Two weeks ago, with one conference loss already in hand, Ohio State and Iowa looming on the schedule and nary a complete performance to speak of, any bowl discussion among Badger fans likely started closer to Insight than BCS.
Even the boldest pundit would have been laughed off had they, prior to Wisconsin's tilt against Iowa, suggested that the punter and a third-string running back would eventually be heroes for the Badgers.
IOWA CITY-Adversity tends to manifest itself on the road.
Rankings aside, the No. 10 Badgers (2-1 Big Ten, 6-1 overall) might very well be facing their toughest challenge of the season when they square up against the No. 13 Iowa Hawkeyes (2-0, 6-1) Saturday in Iowa City. And while the nationally televised toppling of the nation's No. 1 team may have brought Wisconsin back into the BCS discussion, this weekend is once again make or break for the Badgers' Big Ten title hopes.
