It's finally time — Big Ten football kicks off with a matchup between Wisconsin and Maryland on Saturday.
Wisconsin has faced its share of troubles in recent seasons, and the program is yet to prove itself this fall. The Badgers won their first two matchups against Miami (OH) and Middle Tennessee but had an underwhelming performance against Alabama last week. Some critical penalties and an interception in Crimson Tide territory gave way to a 38-14 finish.
On the other hand, Maryland is 3-0 after pushing through FAU, Northern Illinois and Towson. The Terps' defense has been the star of the show, only allowing a sum of 33 points through three contests. Of course, quarterback Malik Washington also adds to success — the true freshman brought his career passing yard sum to 773 last weekend.
