Quotable
Head coach Paul Chryst when asked about his players doing a Lambeau Leap if they score a touchdown during Saturday's game:
"I would love to see a touchdown. I believe it is a penalty ... I've been so focused on making sure the ball crosses that line for the Badgers and try to find a way to keep it from crossing for the Tigers. We talked about it in the spring, and we'll talk about it again. "
Stat to Know
The Badgers haven't played a football game in the state of Wisconsin outside of Madison since their 21-0 win over Notre Dame in Milwaukee on Oct. 14, 1905.
