Scarlet Overkill
All-Conference
Next week Wisconsin plays Northern Illinois on the road. Their offense is somewhat similar to NU's. So, those saying they play a cupcake non-con are mostly correct, but Northern Illinois is no slouch whatsoever.
Last year doesn't carry over, (and they ARE a MAC team) I know, but last season they did beat Fresno in their bowl game 40-17, trounced OSU's previous opponent (Toledo) 65-30, and all of their 3 losses were on the road.
Though I do expect Wisconsin to handle them, I expect to see a "closer than the experts think" type game. Intriguing matchup, though, because I really want to see how they handle that style of offense.
If they can completely shut down NIU, then we may be in for a long day in Madison.
