‘Keep the deficit under 30, please’: Wisconsin Badgers fans unhappy with another November 16 primetime game against the Oregon Ducks

The Wisconsin Badgers are 5-4 this season and will have a bye next week. After the bye week, they will host the No. 1 Oregon Ducks. Oregon has yet to lose a game in college football this season and could be on track to earn the No. 1 overall seed in the college football playoffs.

The Badgers have lost two straight games, including Saturday’s 42-10 primetime road loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Wisconsin’s biggest problem in the last two games has been its quarterback play.

On Monday, it was announced that the Badgers and the Fucks game would be played on Saturday, November 16. The game will be played at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC in Madison, Wisconsin. This will be the third game this season that the Badgers will play in this time frame. Wisconsin lost twice to the Penn State Nittany Lions and Iowa Hawkeyes.

Interestingly, the Badgers still have these matchups in prime time. The Oregon Ducks are the newest team to play them in prime time.

The Oregon Ducks could have 20 or more points on the road against the Wisconsin Badgers. Wisconsin doesn’t look like a great football team right now, and fans are worried about the game being played in prime time.
