Saturday was a day full of impressive individual efforts leading to overall team dominance, as the Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Akron Zips 54-10.
Unless chaos abounds, the Badgers should handily defeat the Georgia State Panthers this Saturday. Just like in the game against Akron, UW will be ahead by a lot in the second half, and again they’ll give a number of second- and third-stringers some playing time.

Despite its 2-0 record, No. 22 Oregon has been relatively unimpressive to start the season. A 25-point win over UC-Davis (yes, they have a football team) and an 18-point win over Virginia are both weak victories. Nebraska, on the other hand, has won both its games by an average of 34 points and shows no signs of slowing down.
The Big Ten was the story of week two as the top four teams won by a combined score of 195-44. After a shocking win over then-No. 5 LSU, the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers solidified their place in the top tier of college football with a 54-10 walloping of Akron.
In their previous matchup last week against Air Force, the Panthers gave up 464—yes, you read that right—464 rushing yards on 83 rushing attempts by the Falcons. Astoundingly, this offensive rushing explosion by their opponent is not an isolated incident.
The Georgia State Panthers certainly will have their work cut out for them this upcoming weekend when they face off against the Wisconsin Badgers. But in a college football season already littered with upsets and surprises, the Badgers should be prepared for anything to happen.

Like many students, Alec Ingold will be going home for Labor Day weekend. A native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, the sophomore fullback is getting the chance of a lifetime to play in front of a hometown crowd in one of the most storied stadiums in the country.
