CHICAGO (AP) – Wisconsin is rarely going to be mistaken for one of college football’s “glamour” teams.
Its offense isn’t flashy enough to have a nickname. Its defense is built on size and strength, not gimmicks. Its uniforms are only slightly less boring, er, traditional than Penn State’s or Alabama’s. Even when it’s had great teams, they weren’t considered the equal of an Oklahoma or Texas or USC.
Thanks to new quarterback Russell Wilson and scandals that have upended the traditional Big Ten order, however, the Badgers are hearing what sounds an awful lot like – dare we say it? – buzz these days.
Up to No. 7 after the first shutout of a BCS team this season, the Badgers (2-0) face Northern Illinois (1-1) at Soldier Field on Saturday afternoon.
