Brian Mason: 
Both teams are on the field going through pregame warmups and the head coaches are talking at midfield

Brian Mason: 
We're about 50 minutes from kickoff, with the game set to start at 7:06 CT, live on ESPN
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:17 Brian Mason
6:23
Brian Mason: 
The storyline tonight is pretty obvious, as the Badgers enter the game 6-0 and ranked No. 6 in the initial BCS standings and are looking to remain unbeaten. Michigan State, meanwhile carries plenty of momentum from a big rivalry win over Michigan right here last Saturday

Brian Mason: 
The Badgers have gathered in the end zone, circling around captains Aaron Henry and Patrick Butrym for the traditional "One Unit, One Goal" chant
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:23 Brian Mason
6:24
Brian Mason: 
It's the team's way of getting fired up as they go through their final minutes of warmups
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:24 Brian Mason
6:25
Brian Mason: 
The two major injury questions for the Badgers are WR Nick Toon and DT Patrick Butrym, who both expect to play tonight.

Toon sat out last week's game against Indiana as a precaution after aggravating a foot injury, while Butrym suffered an ankle sprain in the win over the Hoosiers.
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:25 Brian Mason
6:25
Brian Mason: 
Toon will return to the starting lineup tonight, with Butrym also expecting to play
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:25 Brian Mason
6:27
Brian Mason: 
The real battle tonight is expected to be between the nation's highest-scoring offense (the Badgers average 50.2 points per game) and the nation's leading pass defense (MSU gives up just 119.2 yards per game through the air).
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:27 Brian Mason
6:28
Brian Mason: 
The talk swirled all week after comments by some of Michigan State's defensive players about their desire to get after Badgers QB Russell Wilson, and Spartans DE William Gholston was suspended by the Big Ten for a couple of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls in MSU's win over Michigan last week.
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:28 Brian Mason
6:28
Brian Mason: 
Add in the fact that the Badgers are looking to avenge their only Big Ten loss of a year ago, and there is plenty of fuel heading into this showdown.

I see you are going with the higher ranking for the Badgers, not the BCS standing.

We always stick with the Associated Press Top 25 rankings, regardless of what is higher. It is the poll with the most history associated with it and kind of the standard through the years.

Buckys' O line will come in with quiet confidence.
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:32 grampabucky
6:33
Brian Mason: 
There's no doubt they take what Michigan State's players have said this week as a challenge. Peter Konz told me this week that his entire job is to protect Russell Wilson, and it's one none of the guys on the O-line take lightly.

With Moffitt they were never quiet, Grampa.

And Konz is doing his best to fill that role, Rose. Easily the team's most likely standup comic.
Saturday October 22, 2011 6:35 Brian Mason

Brian Mason: 
Patrick Butrym is out with the No. 1 offense during warmups. It would take more than an ankle injury to keep him off the field tonight.

Interestingly, this is just the 11th night game in the history of Spartan Stadium. And home-field advantage has been huge in this series ... the home team has won the last six since UW scored a 42-28 win here in 2002.

Brian Mason: 
Ah, sorry we were talking about two different things. That will be an interesting matchup. Cousins can be an effective QB but I don't know how well the MSU O-line will be able to protect him. If the Spartans can get their running game going, it will go a long way toward putting points on the board for MSU.

It's very vertical, and the sidelines are very, very tight (similar to Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City). I expect the crowd to be a factor.

Nick is expected to start and I think he's poised for a big game. He did not play up to his standards here last year and certainly wants to make up for that.
