The Wisconsin Badgers face off against the Washington State Cougars at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, marking a matchup between two 1-0 teams after the former defeated the Illinois State Redbirds and the latter defeated the Idaho Vandals in Week 1.
Let’s examine the matchup to watch for between the two teams ahead of Saturday’s Week 2 matchup.
