After opting for a more conservative game plan against Buffalo, Wisconsin will open up its offensive attack against Washington State. The Badgers can always ground and pound, but they have a QB too. Tanner Mordecai passed for over 7,000 yards in two seasons at SMU and now gets to play behind the always-massive Wisconsin offensive line. The Washington State defense finished 77th in EPA per play and 89th in EPA per pass last season — Braelon Allen, Chez Mellusi, and Mordecai will have a field day tomorrow.

The Badgers defense is good enough to limit the Cougars' aerial attack, as it should be able to contain the run game, making WSU too one-dimensional. I'm confident Wisconsin will win comfortably, easily covering the six-point spread.
