The Indiana Hoosiers (3-0) travel to Wisconsin to square off against the Wisconsin Badgers (4-0) in a battle of unbeaten teams. Kickoff is 12:00 PM at Camp Randall Stadium this Saturday.

The 17th ranked Wisconsin Badgers enter the game Saturday with a nine game home winning streak. The Badgers are coming off of a big win in a tight contest against the then 14th ranked Wolverines of Michigan. In the win, Brian Calhoun, the third leading rusher in the nation, ran for 155 yards and a touchdown. This does not promise to be an easy win for the Badgers as they meet a much improved Indiana team against which they have struggled in recent years. Their last two meetings, in 2001-2002, resulted in Badger losses. Watch for Wisconsin to try and run the ball right through the middle of the Hoosier defense.

The Indiana Hoosiers, lead by Coach Terry Hoeppner, have already matched their win total from last year (3) and are off to the best start the team has had since 1994. Idle last week, Indiana is coming off of a win against rival Kentucky two weeks ago. Hoosier quarterback Blake Powers went 17-22 in the air with 4 touchdowns to pace the Indiana offensive attack. He also became the first IU quarterback in school history to throw at least three touchdowns in three straight games. Running back Christ Taylor set a career mark in the win by rushing for 176 yards in the blowout win. Indiana will be looking to throw the ball early and often against a Wisconsin defense that has been susceptible at times to the pass.
