For the first time this season, it feels as if Michigan State is facing a must-win scenario. The Spartans are coming off a 34-10 loss at Ohio State and in desperate need for a road win over a ranked opponent to gain some momentum back.
Wisconsin, on the other hand, is fresh off a bye week. OK, so maybe the Badgers did play in Week 6, but it was basically a bye as Kent State came to town and barely put up a fight. The Badgers shut out yet another opponent on their way to a perfect 5-0 record.
