The Wisconsin football team is currently fighting to become bowl eligible with just one more win needed in the final two games of the season. However, amidst this crucial time, quarterback Cole LaCrue is expected to enter the transfer portal with four years of eligibility remaining. LaCrue, a former three-star recruit committed to Wisconsin, has not played this season despite the injury to starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke.
Wisconsin will face off against Nebraska, also 5-5, in a pivotal game that will determine which team will reach the postseason. Nebraska has been on a downward trend, losing four games in a row including a blowout loss to Indiana and a poor performance against UCLA. On the other hand, Wisconsin’s defense has shown promise, holding the top-ranked Oregon offense to just 16 points in their previous game. With the momentum from a strong defensive performance, Wisconsin hopes to secure a win against a struggling Nebraska offense.
The Cornhuskers have brought in a new offensive coordinator, Dana Holgorsen, in hopes of improving their offensive production. Wisconsin will need to replicate their strong defensive showing as they face a potentially revitalized Cornhuskers offense. The pressure is on both teams to secure that crucial sixth win and punch their ticket to a bowl game in what promises to be a competitive matchup.
