    Wisconsin (3-2) travel to face Rutgers (4-1) in Piscataway, New Jersey on Saturday at noon ET, 11:00 a.m. CT. It will be the sixth all-time meeting between the two programs.

    The Badgers have gone a perfect 5-0 against the Scarlet Knights all-time, winning their most recent matchup 24-13 at home last October. In that game, Wisconsin relied heavily on their run game with Braelon Allen leading the way with 21 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown. Additionally, cornerback Ricardo Hallman provided the highlight of the day, intercepting a pass and returning it 95 yards for a touchdown right before halftime.

    Rutgers enters this week coming off of their first loss of the season, falling to Nebraska on the road 14-7. The Scarlet Knights were unable to get running back Kyle Monangai into the end zone for the first time this season. Defensively, Rutgers has allowed just 15.8 points per game, which ranks tied for 17th in the nation with BYU.

    Wisconsin is coming off of a dominant 52-6 win over Purdue at home last weekend and they’ll look to build off of that performance against the much tougher Scarlet Knights. The Badgers are 1-1 in the Big Ten so far this season and currently sit in 11th place in the conference.
