The college football preview magazines are hitting the newsstands and most expect Wisconsin’s domination of the Big Ten West Division to continue. Phil Steele says with Alex Hornibrook back at quarterback, Johnathan Taylor at running back and the nation’s top ranked offensive line the Badgers are loaded on offense. He expects the defense to be strong again despite some losses. Steele says Iowa could make a run at the division title if they can knock off the Badgers in Kinnick Stadium. He expects Nebraska to show improvement under first year coach Scott Frost even though the Huskers face a demanding schedule.
