Thing is, those losses don&#8217;t look as bad anymore. <b>Indiana remains undefeated<\/b>, and <b>Ohio State<\/b> is rolling.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <b>Wisconsin<\/b> has fallen apart spectacularly. The <b>Badgers<\/b> started <b>2-0 strong<\/b> but won just one game since. A <b>31-7 beat-down<\/b> by <b>No. 2 Indiana<\/b> last week was embarrassing. <b>Wisconsin<\/b> ranks <b>16th in Big Ten<\/b> and is desperately seeking momentum before season&#8217;s end.<\/p>\n<blockquote style='border-left: 4px solid #3498db;padding-left: 20px;margin: 20px 0;font-style: italic;color: #555'>\n<p>&#8220;Illinois owns the lowest-ranked defense the Badgers have faced since the Big Ten opener.&#8221;<\/p>\n<footer style='margin-top: 10px;font-style: normal;font-size: 0.9em'>\u2014 <b>Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/b> analysis<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Why This Matters Now<\/h2>\n<p><b>Luke Altmyer<\/b> is playing lights out.
