Check out quick takes from our Nebraska football writers ahead of the Huskers' game against Wisconsin.
* * *
Who is calling Wisconsin's offense?
Who will get the greater bump from its recent offensive coordinator change?
Nebraska flipped Marcus Satterfield for Dana Holgorsen, and Wisconsin's offense is now run by either a committee or a Wizard of Oz-esque mystery figure.
The Badgers likely won't look drastically different, but a little more productivity would add pressure to a struggling NU offense seeking its sixth win.
Blackshirts must stop Badgers' run game
Nebraska's defense has to show up and stop a Wisconsin offense that'll try to jam it down NU's throat for 35-40 carries.
The Huskers' haven't consistently stopped opposing run games for one thing, and, for another, UW coach Luke Fickell seemed visibly frustrated an offensive gameplan that repeatedly veered away from its strength.
NU's secondary may run hot and cold, but the front has to be ready for old-school Wisconsin.
Nebraska's secondary needs to step up
Which Nebraska position group bounces back best from public critiques by coaches this week?
Wisconsin has limited big gains by opposing skill players all season, so the Huskers will need their veteran secondary to help NU stay even.
The Badgers typically don't beat teams through the air and won't Saturday if NU shores up recent back-end mistakes.
