The Badgers have been yearning for a revenge match ever since, and are ready to face the Huskers on 24 November. Will the newly crowned Big Ten Champions be able to overcome the Badgers once again?

The Wisconsin Badgers have shown that they are more than ready to defeat the Nebraska Huskers. In fact, even in their losing effort in October, the scorecard heavily showcased the dominance of the Badgers over Nebraska. The clean-sweeping squad of Wisconsin wasn’t phased by its loss to Nebraska and has collected five more clean sweeps ever since.
The Wisconsin Badgers also carry the home-turf advantage in their matchup against the Nebraska Huskers. Notably, the Badgers have a spotless season record at home with 11 victories and zero losses cumulatively. Moreover, prior to their loss in October, Wisconsin enjoyed a 10-match winning streak against Nebraska.
While the Badgers do carry significant advantages over their opponents, the Huskers also have a solid foundation. In fact, Nebraska hasn’t lost a single match the entire season while the Badgers have lost three. Will they be able to solidify their brimming presence on top, yet again?
