Howie Kussoy picks his winner for the Friday night matchup between Wisconsin and Illinois (8 p.m., Big Ten Network.) Home team in CAPS.

Last year’s last-second Illini win was a fluke, a game in which Wisconsin held the ball for 41 minutes, but surrendered a 13-point lead with three turnovers. According to Badgers running back Nakia Watson, “Illinois definitely deserves a butt-whooping from last year.” So, there you have it.
