An idle week is coming at a great time for the University of Wisconsin football team.
After handling business in a 35-24 win against Purdue, the Badgers have a week to rest up, get a number of key players back into their lineup, and turn their attention to a stretch of November games that features just two winning teams (6-2 Maryland and 4-3 Minnesota), one of the worst offenses in all of college football (3-4 Iowa) and 3-4 Nebraska.
A couple of key contributors returned to action or saw bigger roles during the win over Purdue, and a pair of regular starters showed progress in their games.
