Wisconsin Michigan Prediction
Wisconsin faces another tough opponent this weekend in Michigan. Playing in the Big House is never easy, even if it is a down year for the Wolverines. With Casillas and Beckum being able to rest up another week after both playing their first games of the season at Fresno, I think Bucky will pull this one out 24-14.

Levy name Defensive Player of the Week
Deandre Levy was named Defensive Player of the Week by Associated Press Writers. Levy made 9 tackles, including 4 for losses, and recorded an interception on a batted pass by Matt Shaughnessy.
UW holds on for big road win
With the first big test of the season Wisconsin went into Fresno State on Saturday night and came out with a huge W. Fresno State fell to 1-5 all time against Big Ten opponents.
Travis Beckum and Jonathan Casillas were both making their 2008 season debuts and each made some big plays to help in this victory.
Fresno State had many chances to put themselves in front and the Wisconsin defense stood strong and held them. Wisconsin took a 10-0 lead into halftime and Fresno came out strong in the 3rd quarter and cut the Badgers lead to 10-7. Late in the 3rd quarter the Badgers added a field goal to make it a 13-7 lead.
The Bulldogs had a very good chance at taking lead late in the 3rd quarter with the Badgers up 13-7 when Lonyae Miller scampered for 57 yards before being caught from behind by Jonathan Casillas. The Bulldogs added a field goal and made it 13-10 with 16 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. The Badger defense held from there on out and Wisconsin pulled out a tough and much needed victory.
Wisconsin is in its toughest stretch of 4 games in a row since Bielema became head coach. Next the Badgers will head to Ann Arbor and play a weaker Michigan team than in years past but still the Big House is a tough place to play. Then the Badgers will play host to an Ohio State team who was just demoralized on Saturday night by a USC team that looks head and shoulders above any other team so far. And the UW will round out the 4 game stretch in Madison with a Penn State team that has looked unstoppable so far this season.

Wisconsin vs. Fresno State Prediction
Wisconsin now starts one of the toughest 4 game stretches of any team this year. At Fresno State, At Michigan, Home against Ohio State and Home against Penn State. These next 4 games will let us know really how tough this Badger team is.
Wisconsin will face maybe its toughest test other than playing Ohio State this year. Fresno State is a tough team let alone playing in the dog pound and in the Valley where it is supposed to be around 90-95 degrees at kickoff.
Hopefully the Badgers can get a boost from Casillas and Beckum who both should suit up and should play.
Wisconsin 28
Fresno State 27
I am a little leery picking the Badgers here but am hoping they can pull it off by pounding the ball down the Bulldogs throats.

Wisconsin scores 51 unanswered to roll past Marshall 51-14
A week after the Badgers ran for 404 yards they went the opposite direction and threw for 329 yards in a rout over the Marshall Thundering Herd.
Marshall jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the 2nd quarter with Wisconsin unable to move the ball effectively.
Wisconsin finally woke up after Marshall's second score of the game and went into halftime with an uncomfortable 17-14 lead. The Badgers came out quick in the second have with three third quarter touchdowns and jumped out to a 38-14 lead.
Wisconsin added two more scores in the fourth quarter to make it 51 unanswered points after Marshall jumped out to their 14-0 lead.
Badger fans hope for a better start in their upcoming road test against a tough Fresno State club.

Wisconsin vs. Akron recap
With a few injuries leaving Travis Beckum and Jonathan Casillas on the sidelines for this game the Badgers still managed to make this one a laugher.
Wisconsin jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter on a nine play, 67 yard drive that ended on a Garrett Graham 3-yard touchdown catch from QB Allan Evridge. The Badgers continued to pound the ball down the throats of the Zips defenders and were quickly out to a 17-0 lead to start the 2nd quarter.
A few turnovers and defensive lapses later the Zips cut the lead 17-10 going into half.
Wisconsin one again scored 2 quick touchdowns to start the second half and were up 31-10 with 6 minutes left in the third quarter.
After an Akron fumble redshirt freshman John Clay found the end zone for his first collegiate touchdown with 12 minutes to go left in the game.
Final score: Wisconsin 38-Akron 17 (without a fumble from 2nd string QB Dustin Sherer with 3 minutes to go in the game the score would have ended 38-10 which was the score I predicted)
The defense looked a little shaky at times but all in all it was a good opener for the Badgers.
