coach agrees that his team’s next game is a big one. But when asked if the trip to Madison to face off against Wisconsin this Saturday is a chance to earn a signature win, he stopped short of putting a label on it.
While the Scarlet Knights’ coach is understandably cautious, there are many reasons to believe a victory at Camp Randall would be one of the biggest in program history and the first major win for the program in quite some time:In the 31 seasons after Barry Alvarez took over the program in 1990, Wisconsin won 66.8% of its games , went 18-10 in bowl games — including a 3-4 record in Rose Bowls — and earned six Big Ten titles and five division titles in the first 12 seasons of the division era.
“As a staff and as a whole organization and as a team, we have a lot of work to do between now and Saturday,” Schiano said. “They are good. Really good.”Wisconsin remains one of five Big Ten teams Rutgers has never beaten , along with Iowa , Minnesota , Nebraska and Ohio State . The Badgers outscored Rutgers 168-30 in those four meetings, including a combined 79-27 score in their two meetings in Camp Randall.
