MADISON, Wis. -- Nebraska has a prime-time opportunity to silence the doubters.To do that, the seventh-ranked Cornhuskers must prove themselves on Saturday against a team that has thrived all year long on proving its own detractors wrong.Tested by a rigorous schedule , No. 11 Wisconsin hopes to topple another top 10 opponent when Nebraska visits raucous Camp Randall Stadium.I feel like were the underdog every week, honestly. Weve been getting picked to lose I think probably 75 percent of our games, so were used to it, Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. said.Im pretty sure they probably have us losing (to Wisconsin), but like any other week, were ready for them, Armstrong said.The leaders of the in the Big Ten West Division, the Cornhuskers (7-0, 4-0) are off to their best start in 15 seasons. But they could use a statement game on the road to pad their playoff resume. Their biggest win was a 35-32 win at home over then-No. 22 Oregon in Week 3.Otherwise, coach Mike Rileys team has drawn skeptics for closer-than-expected victories against what should have been overmatched opponents.Wisconsin (5-2, 2-2) knows what its like to be doubted.The Badgers have endured a tough schedule that has already included four top 10 teams and a trip to Iowa. Their two losses have come to Michigan and Ohio State by a combined 14 points.Now the Badgers have to prove themselves yet again. Their tough defense will play its first game without its leading tackler, inside linebacker Jack Cichy , who has a torn pectoral muscle.Were still going to need his presence on the sideline, outside linebacker Vince Biegel said. He was our energy to our defense, were still going to need him to be that person if we want to get where we want to be at the end of this season.With two losses already in conference, the easiest way for Wisconsin to return to the Big Ten title game is to win its final five games, starting with Nebraska.Other notes and things to watch on Saturday evening:WISCONSIN DEFENSEBesides Cichy, Wisconsin will also be without space-eating nose tackle Olive Sagapolu for a second straight game. But the Badgers have weathered injuries well under coordinator Justin Wilcox.Ryan Connelly and Leon Jacobs should be capable fill-ins for Cichy. Starting cornerback Derrick Tindal (right leg) has also been cleared after getting hurt last week against Iowa, and theres a chance that the secondary could get a boost with the return of third cornerback Natrell Jamerson. He has been out since Week 2 with a left leg injury.WESTERKAMP WORLDNebraskas offense should be replenished with the return of senior receiver Jordan Westerkamp, who has missed two games with a back injury. He has a team-high four touchdown catches.Were going to be stronger. I think that our guys can win and make plays, so I feel great about that group, Riley said.WELL-ROUNDED QBThe dual-threat Armstrong needs 11 yards of total offense to become the 11th player in Big Ten history to pass 10,000 for his career. Hes also 244 yards from setting the school career record for total offense. After missing the Ohio State game and J.T. Barrett because of a foot injury, Biegel is eager to get another shot at stopping a mobile signal-caller.WRINKLESCredit Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst with coming up with different ways to spice up the offense the last couple weeks. Two weeks ago against Ohio State, the Badgers dusted off the jet sweep with receiver Jazz Peavy and got good results. Last week against Iowa , Chryst used backup quarterback Bart Houston for a couple series against Iowa.Houston, who is more mobile than starter Alex Hornibrook, led the Badgers on a touchdown drive. The offensive-minded Chyrst probably has a new wrinkle or two ready for Nebraska, too.RED ZONEThe Badgers have been beset by problems in the red zone, where they have converted on 75 percent of drives inside the 20. Theyre ranked 112th out of 128th FBS teams. Wisconsin is also looking to clean up fumbles, penalties and other mistakes that slow the offense.Theres execution and those are things that weve got to own, Chryst said, and it can be the difference between winning and losing.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAPCheap Vapormax Plus .

Tennessee plays at Vanderbilt next week in its regular-season finale.Tennessee isnt in control of its destiny, but the fact the Vols are even in contention for a division title in mid-November shows how far this program has come since these seniors enrolled.Theyve made a lasting impact on Tennessee football, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. We always talk about is Tennessee football better because you were a part of it. How have you impacted the football program? All these individuals have impacted the football program in a very, very positive manner.This senior class includes the first collection of players Jones recruited to Tennessee as well as four players who preceded the coachs arrival in Knoxville. Linebacker Kenny Bynum, tight end Jason Croom, defensive end LaTroy Lewis and defensive lineman Charles Folger are the lone fifth-year seniors who were part of Derek Dooleys last Tennessee team.Dooley was fired amid a 5-7 season in 2012. Jones and the other freshmen came aboard in 2013 when Tennessee again finished 5-7 for its fourth straight losing season.Tennessee went 7-6 in 2014 and 9-4 last season while winning bowl games each year. This season, the Vols were ranked as high as ninth before a three-game skid in October caused them to tumble out of the Top 25.The headline performers in this class are quarterback Joshua Dobbs, cornerback Cam Sutton and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin.Dobbs has made 32 career starts while majoring in aerospace engineering. His accomplishments on and off the field have made him the face of Tennessees program.A lot of people said you cant go to college, cant play SEC footbball and major in engineering, (that) theres just not enough time in the day, Dobbs said.dddddddddddd. You cant do this and you cant do that. ... My message always has been, `Why cant I do that? Sutton, a starter since the opening game of his freshman season, is Tennessees career leader in passes defended and returned to action last week after missing six games with a fractured ankle. Reeves-Maybin led the Vols in tackles in 2015 and tied for the team lead in 2014 before season-ending shoulder surgery limited him to just four games this year.Tennessees fifth-year seniors encountered even more adversity as they dealt with consecutive losing seasons and a coaching change in their first two years on campus.They marvel at how much has happened since their arrival.We remember when we just moved into Gibbs (Hall), me and Jason were roommates together, Lewis said. We look over across the street and Gibbs is gone (it was demolished in 2014). Its a whole new building up. How things have changed over time, its really interesting to look back on.Those four fifth-year seniors have only made a combined seven starts this season, but theyve delivered quite an impact off the field. Lewis has started a local nonprofit organization aimed at mentoring and educating young people in the Knoxville area, while Folger volunteers at the Tennessee School for the Deaf in Knoxville.Tennessees seniors acknowledge Saturdays game will carry an emotional weight. Folger quipped that Im going to cry like a baby when he runs onto Neyland Stadiums field for the last time and is greeted by his family.But they dont want to get too nostalgic just yet. Theres too much at stake.We still have a lot of dreams and goals on the table, Dobbs said. We cant get caught up in too much of the emotion and be focused on this being our last (home) game. Weve still got to prepare and get ready to play a ballgame Saturday.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee ' ' '
