Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst met with local reporters on Monday morning to preview his team's upcoming week of preparation before they take on the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday in Champaign. Video from Chryst's presser is courtesy of UWBadgers.com.

Chryst said that senior defensive end Chikwe Obasih will return to practice this week, after he was upgraded to 'questionable' on the team's preliminary injury report after missing Wisconsin's last six games with a leg injury.

"We're excited that Chikwe is going to practice," Chryst said. "I don't know how the practices will go for him. The more you do you just want to see how things respond, but I know not just myself but I know the players are excited (for him)."

Chryst was asked what makes his team a good road team, with the Badgers et to head out on a two-game road trip - first to Illinois this Saturday and then to Indiana next weekend. The Badgers are 10-1 in true road games under Chryst, with last year's loss to Michigan at Michigan Stadium the only blemish on their record.

"I don't think there's any magic to it," Chryst said. "It's another opportunity and you (try to be) as prepared as you can and then you've still got to go out and play the game. And then I think it comes down to executing and all the things that good football is."
