At the moment, Maryland, Iowa, and potentially Washington are the only games where Wisconsin may be favored. So, the Badgers will definitely need to pull off a tough win down the road, but that also emphasizes the importance of this week's game.

"Yeah, 100%," safety Austin Brown acknowledged. "You took away a couple plays from last week and I feel like it's a different game. And then that still stings now, still stings for the rest of the year, but, it's, you know, week by week, game by game. So moving forward, facing Maryland, this is a game we must win, especially going into the bye week. It's something you don't want to leave, go into the bye week with a sour taste in your mouth. So something we see we've got to win for sure."
