Washington State vs. Wisconsin Prediction: Badgers Welcome the Cougars to Camp Randall Stadium

Washington State travels to Wisconsin to play the first game of a home-and-home scheduling agreement. The game pits Wisconsin's ground game against Washington State's new-look air attack. Wisconsin is ranked in the top 20, while Washington state had to fight their way to a victory against an FCS opponent in Week 1.

Washington State plays at No. 19 Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium.

Cameron Ward made his debut as Washington State's starting quarterback last week. He had 215 passing yards and three touchdowns without an interception. Wisconsin is solid on defense and came off a shutout in its season opener. Ward put up 4,648 passing yard and 47 touchdowns last season at FCS Incarnate Word.

Wisconsin's offensive philosophy lives with running the football and hoping the passing game doesn't mess things up. Braelon Allen is one of the top running backs in the Big Ten. Allen had 148 rushing yards and two touchdowns in Wisconsin's season-opening rout of Illinois State last weekend. Quarterback Graham Mertz was effective and efficient as well.

Washington State and Wisconsin played each other in the opening game. Wisconsin won the game by a large margin. The Badgers are expected to dominate the ground game and keep Washington State's air attack in check.
