Emerging from the turmoil after the firing of head coach Paul Chryst, the Badgers football team needs a win Saturday.
The problem is the program hasn’t had much success at Northwestern.
Wisconsin has lost six times in its last seven visits to Evanston, Illinois.
There should be plenty of motivation.
The Badgers want to bounce back after two embarrassing losses that cost Chryst his job.
On the other hand, since 2018 college football teams have had a record of just 7-and-24 in the first games after their coaches were fired.
