Last game: 35-24 win vs. Purdue
Next game: Nov. 5 vs. Maryland

Braelon Allen, you are something else. The lead back ran for 113 yards on just 16 carries and one touchdown against Purdue, but also caught a 39-yard pass to help out Graham Mertz. This Wisconsin offense finally scored some points against a Big Ten team, surpassing 30 points for just the second time (both wins) this season in conference play.

The Badgers are undefeated all-time against Maryland, 3-0, winning by an average margin of 25.7 points per game. The two games played in Madison between the two teams have resulted in blowouts, with Wisconsin winning by 25 points in 2017 and 45 points in 2014. It won’t be similar to that differential, but it could end up being an important win for the Badgers if they can take down Maryland.
