There is quite a bit to unpack from Wisconsin’s thrilling overtime victory against No. 7 Nebraska this past Saturday.
Overlooked in the Wisconsin Badgers’ (3-2 Big Ten, 6-2 overall) ugly overtime win over the No. 7 Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-1, 7-1) was a historic performance by redshirt senior running back Dare Ogunbowale.
Dare Ogunbowale scored the game-winning overtime touchdown to cap off a memorable night.
While not as highly anticipated as Wisconsin’s night game against Ohio State two weeks ago, and while the matchup Nebraska felt similar to that OSU game, this time Wisconsin held on to beat a Top 10 team, winning 23-17.
Senior running back Corey Clement had potentially his best game of the season for the Badgers Saturday afternoon against Iowa, often leading a sometimes wavering Wisconsin offense up and down the field. Clement has struggled at times this year, but the talented running back carried some momentum from last week’s loss against Ohio State into this game, and consequently was definitely the Badgers’ most valuable player in their win over the Hawkeyes.

The College Football Playoff picture received a serious shake-up this weekend after Penn State upset Ohio State in Happy Valley. For the first time this year, the Buckeyes dropped out of the top two of the AP rankings. Ohio State’s performance against Wisconsin and a 24-21 loss to unranked Penn State have shown flaws in the offense, and simultaneously snapped its 20-game road win streak. To get back to the playoffs, the Buckeyes will likely need to win out.
After a long day of classes on a typical Tuesday afternoon, junior kicker Andrew Endicott needed to get his competitive feelings back. So logically, he challenged one of his specialist teammates to a competition to try and get his motor running. Wisconsin punter and kickoff specialist P.J. Rosowski was Endicott’s opponent. Their domain was ping-pong, a sport that is as similar to football as chocolate is to zucchini.
Coming into the season, Jack Cichy was scheduled to be just another rotation player, backing up last year’s returning starters at inside linebacker, sophomore Chris Orr and redshirt sophomore T.J. Edwards.
After suffering a devastating loss two weeks ago to the then-No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, the Wisconsin Badgers were left searching for answers. While the players were quick to call it a team loss, head coach Paul Chryst thought otherwise.
The lights at Camp Randall will be fired back up for the second time in three weeks as the No. 7 Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-0 Big Ten, 7-0 overall) come to town to take on the No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers (2-2 Big Ten, 5-2 overall) in a matchup that could have championship implications.
Wisconsin consistently finds "diamonds in the rough," as exemplified by turning T.J. Watt, who's national recruiting rank was 941, into a first round draft pick.
In this week's episode, host Bobby Ehrlich is joined by football columnist Zach Rastall and basketball beat writer Ben Pickman to discuss the football game vs. Nebraska and the start of the basketball season. Zach gives his take on the two-quarterback system now being employed as well as what the Cichy injury means for Wisconsin.
