Washington State coach Jake Dickert has a pretty good idea of what to expect Saturday when his Cougars travel to his home state to take on 19th-ranked Wisconsin in Madison.
"Our team is ready for this environment and in what that's going to mean going on the road and trying to win against a really good football team," Dickert said."That is the focus. Period."
"I got to grow up in the Ron Dayne era," Dickert said of the Badgers' running back great."The history of Wisconsin at tailback and Braelon Allen is probably, if not, maybe going to be the best one ever to come through there. I'll let those fans decide that. But he's a physical talent, he's amazing, and he reminds me a little bit of Ron Dayne."
Cameron Ward, a transfer from Incarnate Word, threw three touchdown passes in his debut for Washington State. He completed 25 of 40 passes for 215 yards without an interception. Ward led the Football Championship Subdivision in touchdown passes last season with 47 and was third in passing yards with 4,648.
