Ryan Mathews The no. 10 ranked Wisconsin Badgers travel to Fresno State to take on the no. 21 ranked Bulldogs. Odds makers are calling the Badgers a 1 point favorite on the road in their first true test of the season. Fresno State (1-0) is easliy going to be Wisconsin's toughest opponent so far.

After rushing for more than 400 yards in their season opener against Akron and passing for more than 300 against Marshall last week, the Badgers will see if they are for real against the Bulldogs.

"It shows that that we're balanced on offense and we can do both," said Badgers QB Allan Evridge who threw only 10 passes in the opener. "I think as a unit we always knew we could throw the ball."

Wisconsin
has come out to slow starts in both of their games so far. The Badgers trailed Marshall by 14 before scoring 51 unanswered points to win and they only had a 7 point lead at halftime against Akron. "We came out flat," said linebacker DeAndre Levy. "Better teams will finish us off."

Fresno State is definitley a better team. The Bulldogs were idle last week, but are coming off a 24-7 victory at Rutgers. Sophomer Running back Ryan Mathews scored three times and compiled over 150 yards on the ground in week one, while the defense intercepted Rutgers QB Mike Teel twice and held the Scarlett Knights offense to only one score.

This one should be close, but take the Bulldogs at home getting the point.
