Powerful running from sophomore running back John Clay and a physical four-quarter defensive effort propelled Wisconsin to a 51-10 blowout victory in its regular season finale Saturday against Hawaii.
As the mercury drops, most Wisconsinites dream of escaping to a warm tropical locale and forgetting their responsibilities for a bit.
Last week Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema argued that three of his players deserved the three big individual awards in the Big Ten; Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year.
EVANSTON, Ill.—To say the Badger secondary had been an issue all year would be an understatement.
EVANSTON, Ill.—With 42 seconds to go in Wisconsin's game against Northwestern, the Badgers took possession at their own 20. Despite trailing 33-31 when the drive started, Wisconsin's players were confident their team could mount a quick scoring drive and steal a win over the Wildcats despite a mistake-filled game.
The sense of urgency among Wisconsin football players heading into last week's game against Michigan has not worn off quite yet, as the Badgers prepare to travel to Evanston, Ill., Saturday to take on Northwestern.
As tough as it was to watch my last Badger home football game come and go, the harder part was watching the complete atrocity that occurred in the fourth quarter. Yes, I know most folk were thrilled to see the brave band member who proposed to his girlfriend by having tubas march across the field with a message that read, ""Marry me, Kayla."" Why am I not happy for them? Maybe it's because I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend Sherry on our two-week anniversary AT THE SAME GAME! I was so outraged that he stole my idea that I wrote the culprit an angry letter. I thought about mailing it, but then I realized I had no idea who he was. So instead, I did the next logical option: I submitted it as a column in a college newspaper. Here it is:
Head coach Bret Bielema only expressed satisfaction during his weekly press conference Monday. His team is fresh off a performance against Michigan that showed both the offensive and defensive might of the Wisconsin football team.

As the game clock hit zero to end Wisconsin's 45-24 rout of Michigan Saturday, senior defensive end O'Brien Schofield could finally breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate the victory.
When the Michigan Wolverines take the field at Camp Randall Stadium Saturday, they won't be looking to shore up a resume for a BCS berth or gearing up for a dynamic rivalry game with Ohio State.

For John Clay, it was as simple as a three carry, 52 yard performance against the Michigan Wolverines in 2008. For Zach Brown, it came in the form of a two touchdown, 250 yard massacre of Minnesota in 2007 filling in for an injured P.J. Hill. For both highly touted recruits, it was that breakthrough game where they became less like an abstract scouting report and more like a true contributor to the Badgers' backfield. For Montee Ball, it came last week with 115 rushing yards and two touchdowns in Bloomington that helped his team escape with a narrow 31-28 victory.
Coming off its most complete team performance and most impressive win of the season a week ago against Purdue, the Wisconsin football team had to squeak out a victory against Indiana Saturday. Although the running attack for the Badgers was dominant throughout, Wisconsin had trouble at times on defense, especially containing big plays.
On Saturday afternoon, junior wide receiver Maurice Moore had one kickoff return for three yards against Indiana, which could have been more if not for an illegal block in the back committed on Moore's return.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.—Last week, the Badger defense dominated one team from Indiana at home with a shutout victory, but Wisconsin's victory against the Hoosiers Saturday was not nearly as easy.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. —Holding the ball on a crucial carry late in the fourth quarter near the goal line, few running backs want to see a linebacker standing in the hole with a good shot to make the tackle.
Wisconsin wide receiver Kraig Appleton believes in the power of positive thinking.
Prior to Saturday's game against Purdue, Wisconsin junior tight end Lance Kendricks had never even attempted a carry in a game. By the end of the contest, he had racked up 94 rushing yards, including a 54-yard burst in the third quarter which led to a touchdown. With Kendricks' additional 21 yards receiving head coach Bret Bielema was impressed with his overall play.
