Wisconsin didn't just beat Michigan State — the Badgers dominated them 31-3 at Camp Randall. One week after an incredible 17-point comeback win at Penn State, Wisconsin followed it up by completely controlling Michigan State. Colton Joseph threw three touchdowns and rushed for 141 yards, Jacob Harris caught two scores, the Badgers piled up 228 rushing yards, and the defense held Michigan State to just 235 total yards. So now the conversation changes. Was Michigan State the moment we stopped wondering whether Wisconsin had improved…and started wondering just how good this team can actually become? On today's Bucky Report, Rajeev and Justin break down the blowout win, what continues to change with this Wisconsin offense, another dominant defensive performance, the emergence of young playmakers, and whether the last two weeks are evidence that the Badgers may finally be building something special. Plus, we'll hand out our Helmet Stickers and look ahead at where Wisconsin stands heading into the bye week at 4-1 and 2-0 in the Big Ten. SPECIAL GUEST: NICK OSEN from 247 SPORTS!
