We are now just seven days out from Wisconsin getting a New Year’s Day bowl matchup against LSU. The Badgers and Tigers may be without some key contributors, most notably LSU missing their Heisman quarterback Jayden Daniels. He announced he would be opting out of the game earlier this month after winning the Heisman and continuing to prepare for the NFL draft.
Of the Tigers that will be on the field, some have been asked about what they are expecting from the Badgers. Defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo says he expects a physical Badger team that is led by running the football. Here is a look at what LSU is expecting from Wisconsin on New Year’s Day:
The Nebraska Cornhuskers and Wisconsin Badgers will meet this Saturday at Memorial Stadium in a game that’s more than just a rivalry—it’s about survival. Both teams are on the brink of bowl eligibility, and this Big Ten showdown will put everything on the line.

When Nebraska joined the Big Ten, fans were ready for a fresh slate of rivalries. Enter Wisconsin. Unfortunately for the Cornhuskers, the rivalry has been a lopsided affair, with the Badgers owning the series for a full decade. But if there was ever a time for Nebraska to flip the script, it’s now, with bowl eligibility and bragging rights hanging in the balance.
The Cornhuskers enter this game with a chance to rewrite history. They’ve been inconsistent in conference play, but playing at home gives them an edge. If Nebraska can control the clock, limit turnovers, and capitalize on Wisconsin’s mistakes, they might finally snap the streak.
The Badgers aren’t just fighting for bowl eligibility, they’re fighting to remind Nebraska who’s boss. Wisconsin has leaned on a strong ground game and tough defense in recent years, and they’ll need that formula again to quiet the Lincoln crowd.
This will be a great rivalry game on Saturday, so make sure to tune in.

And it doesn’t get any bigger in women’s volleyball than Wisconsin and Nebraska. The Big Ten rivals and national powers will meet for a second time this season with a lot at stake.
Wisconsin (21-5, 15-2 Big Ten), ranked sixth in the most recent American Volleyball Coaches Association top 25 poll, will look to exact some revenge after Nebraska swept the Badgers earlier this month in Madison. It was Wisconsin’s first and only home loss of the season. A win will also keep the Badgers’ Big Ten title hopes alive.
Nebraska (27-1, 17-0) is on a march toward perfection in the Big Ten and another conference championship. The Cornhuskers, ranked No. 2 nationally, haven’t lost at home this season and are poised for a top seed again in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

Wisconsin vs Nebraska volleyball prediction
As winners of its last six matches, Wisconsin has found its groove. The Badgers showed their fight in rallying for a wild five-set win over Minnesota earlier this week and before that gave Penn State its first Big Ten loss of the season last Saturday.
Can UW now give Nebraska its first conference loss? The Cornhuskers might just be too good in 2024 and will avoid the upset. Nebraska has won 24 straight matches since its lone defeat on Sept. 3, and with another victory it’ll get closer to a second straight Big Ten championship. Few Big Ten teams have even come close to beating Nebraska this season. The Cornhuskers have 13 sweeps in their 17 conference victories.
One of those 3-0 match wins came against Wisconsin three weeks ago. Kelly Sheffield’s team won’t be swept again, but the Cornhuskers will outlast the Badgers in a hard-fought five-set match before a sold-out crowd at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
