The Nebraska football team will play its first Big Ten game of the season Saturday night as they host Wisconsin at Memorial Stadium. Both teams went 3-1 in non-conference play. Wisconsin defeated Northern Iowa, Utah State and last Saturday Texas El Paso, 37-26. The lone Badger loss came from Oregon State. Husker Coach Bo Pelini said it's up to the team doctors to decide if Husker running back Rex Burkhead can play this week without a brace on the knee he injured in the season-opener. Nebraska is a 12 1/2 point favorite over Wisconsin on Saturday night. The 7 p.m. game will be televised nationally by ABC-TV. Brad Nessler will handle the play-by-play, with former Penn State quarterback Todd Blackledge the color analyst and Holly Rowe on the sidelines.
