is this one a must win if Leonhard wants to remove that interim tag and become the permanent HC?
I don't think he is being judged that way.

I think it's more about the response of the players, which has been great, and about his vision for the program.

Wisconsin Badgers (3-4, 5-5) at Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-5, 3-7)
NOON - Lincoln, NE - ESPN
Nebraska's offense has shown flashes at points this season, but none of those moments occurred with Casey Thompson out injured.  The Huskers scored 37 against Purdue, and then had scored twice in the first 10 minutes against Illinois, which was pretty good based on how Illinois defense was playing at the time.  Then Thompson went down, and in 2.5 games without their starting quarterback, Nebraska has been outscored 74-16, with their lone touchdown coming on the opening drive against Minnesota.  Chubba Purdy has been outright bad in his absence, but if Mickey Joseph had a better option, I'm sure he would use it.  And now Purdy is out with a high ankle sprain, after starting both games with Thompson hurt.  So Thompson is taking practice reps, but if he can't go, it's Logan Smothers, who couldn't beat out Purdy, or walk on Jarrett Synek who saw his first ever college action late in the blowout loss in Ann Arbor.  While Graham Mertz's performances have been continuously critiqued, the other issue has been the pass protection is well below the normal Wisconsin standard.  Northwestern didn't get to the quarterback at all, but over their other 5 games since October 1, Wisconsin has allowed 5 sacks to Illinois, 3 to Michigan State, 2 to Purdue, 3 to Maryland, and 4 to Iowa.  The Badgers rank #105 in the FBS is sack rate, and #117 in sack rate on standard downs.  That's their biggest problem, but the Badgers' line ranks in the bottom third of the FBS in 7 of the 9 metrics tracked by Football Outsiders, and only rank in the top third in one, which is their run blocking on passing downs.  Fortunately for Wisconsin, the Nebraska defense is giving up 4.6 ypc and 191 rushing ypg, both 2nd worst in the Big Ten.  This might look like a classic Wisconsin game, where they throw it 14 times, because that's all they have to.
WISCONSIN 29, NEBRASKA 17

I think Wisconsin here, with a 20-10 score or so.

Interim head coach Mickey Joseph said during his short update with media on Thursday that Thompson threw the ball well in practice and is on track to return barring any unforeseen recurrence with his nerve injury. Joseph said the last three practices are enough to convince him Thompson’s ready. That confidence isn’t likely to change as long as Thompson continues to feel good.

“Unless he wakes up tomorrow and says ‘My whole elbow is numb,'” Joseph said, “OK? He’s going to play.”

Nebraska-Wisconsin could be nicknamed the "Audition Bowl" with two interim coaches squaring off, but who wants it more? Nebraska fans are at a whole other level of need, writes Tom Shatel
