Game stakes
Wisconsin and USC face enormous stakes in their Saturday night matchup in Madison.
Game expectations
Neither coach can afford to lose unless they're prepared for an improbable run the rest of the season.
USC's offensive strength
USC's quarterback Jayden Maiava leads the nation with 2,045 passing yards.
Game closeness
USC is less than a field goal favorite to win this game.
Wisconsin defense
Wisconsin's run defense has been lights out, making USC one-dimensional.
Wisconsin offense
Wisconsin's offense should bounce back after struggling against UCLA.
Camp Randall advantage
Camp Randall Stadium at night has been a key factor in Wisconsin's recent upsets.
Barry Alvarez' view
Barry Alvarez says USC will struggle with the noise at Camp Randall Stadium.
“They don't play in front of anybody. They have a big stadium with nobody in it. They're not used to a full stadium, with a loud house, where they have to deal with the noise”
USC's road experience
USC recently beat Penn State in a white-out game at Beaver Stadium.
In short
Wisconsin's home-field advantage at Camp Randall Stadium may help them counter USC's road experience in a close game.
