This week in Wisconsin talk
The shows spent the week on Wisconsin's dominant win over USC, with hosts praising the Badgers' physical defense and run-heavy approach that held USC to just 58 passing yards. Now looking ahead to Iowa, the talk is split between seeing it as a low-scoring Big Ten grind where Iowa's motivation gives them the edge, versus treating it as basically a coin flip that could go either way depending on a couple plays.
