Week 7 of the college football season has already started to have its fireworks, with several major upsets happening, including Auburn over No. 1 Georgia and Tennessee over Alabama.

Now, playing in primetime on NBC, as 1.5-point road underdogs, can the Badgers do the same and get another top-15 road upset on their belt?

Things won’t come easy against an undefeated UCLA team that has run the ball and played defense at an elite level this season. The Bruins have handled business against the teams they’ve been supposed to, and really put themselves on the map with a 17-15 road win over Oregon last weekend.

The Bruins will be without several starters, including starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava and multiple defensive backs. The Badgers, on the other hand, are looking quite healthy going into Saturday.

Wisconsin is expected to have Abu Sama back at running back and Jaylon Domingeaux suited up for the first time this season after he suffered a hand injury in fall camp.
