The Wildcats started their season with a win followed by four consecutive losses. Their offense doesn't seem to be the problem, as they have managed points on the board.
Their defense has let them down in the games they have lost. Ryan Hilinski has been excellent so far this season. Even in defeats, the quarterback has produced brilliant numbers. If the defense starts showing up, the Wildcats could turn things around.
Wisconsin started off on a high note, winning Game 1 (38-0) against Illinois State. Washington State defeated the Badgers in a hard-fought game two (17-14). Game 3 was a total display of dominance against NM State (66-7). However, they lost two consecutive games, one against the #3 Ohio State (52-21) and another against Illinois (10-34). They will look to return to winning ways from Game 6.
The Wildcats will have to capitalize on home advantage. If they continue to lose, they will slip out of contention. Fans will turn up in huge numbers, so the team must not disappoint them. Overall, it should be an exciting contest.
