Football: Badgers ride wave of success into bout with Michigan

Following a pair of convincing shutout victories over non-conference opponents, the Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) prepare for their first true test of the season as the Michigan Wolverines (2-0) travel to Madison.

In a game that has substantial conference implications, Wisconsin will look yet again to bring its stout defense and increasingly balanced offensive attack.

Junior quarterback Jack Coan enters Saturday’s game having completed 76% of his passes for 564 yards and five touchdowns, all without an interception. Considering the Badgers’ reputation of having a run-dependent, possession-reliant offense, Coan’s accuracy and poise in the passing game allows Head Coach Paul Chryst to open his playbook just a little bit further.
