The Huskers look to end one of the program's longest losing streaks to a single opponent.
Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule told reporters and fans that he doesn’t think the Huskers are cursed on Monday. As someone who’s only been a Husker for two years, it might not seem that way to him. But to fans who have been around the program for the last seven , it does feel like the Huskers are cursed.
Both Wisconsin and Nebraska have struggled to pass the ball this year. Wisconsin is ranked 113th in the nation, with an average of -0.12 EPA per drop back, just behind Purdue. Badger quarterback Braedyn Locke has thrown an interception in seven straight games and has had nine touchdowns to nine interceptions on the year. He’s only managed to pass the 60% mark in completion percentage twice this season – against Purdue and Rutgers.
Nebraska punter Brian Buschini could be an X-factor in this game. Wisconsin’s offense ranks 100th in the nation in available yard percentage . The Husker's defense ranks 33rd in yard percentage allowed. If Buschini can force some long fields for Wisconsin, it could result in a big gain in field position for the Nebraska offense’s next drive.
