Last year, the Wildcats pulled off a huge win at Camp Randall Stadium as the Badgers fell short in the redzone at the end of the game.
It was not a pretty win, but the Wisconsin Badgers (4-2 Big Ten, 7-2 Overall) held off the Northwestern Wildcats (3-3, 4-5) for a 21-7 victory in Evanston, Ill.

Wisconsin's keys Chryst needs to settle on a QB Nine weeks of the college football season have come and gone, and Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst has yet to make up his mind about who the Badgers’ quarterback is going to be.
The No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers (3-2 Big Ten, 6-2 overall) are through the most treacherous section of their regular season, and the team fared far better than many would have expected coming into the fall. But with November here and a trip to Northwestern next on the schedule, the Badgers aren’t quite out of the autumn woods.
There is quite a bit to unpack from Wisconsin’s thrilling overtime victory against No. 7 Nebraska this past Saturday. For starters, a lot of credit has to be given to Mike Riley and the Cornhuskers for how well they battled back in that game.
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. The backup only carried the ball 11 times, but his 10.9-yard average for 120 total yards on those runs was the highest per-carry average for a Wisconsin running back in a game (min.
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. Wisconsin opened up the scoring halfway through the first with a two-play, 51-yard drive capped off by a 21-yard rush by redshirt freshman running back Bradrick Shaw.
Nebraska 1) Lean on Armstrong Nebraska has been able to blitz past the likes of Fresno, Wyoming and Purdue, but with the Badgers, the Cornhuskers will meet a new defensive force that will be their biggest challenge yet.
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.
The College Football Playoff picture received a serious shake-up this weekend after Penn State upset Ohio State in Happy Valley.
After suffering a devastating loss two weeks ago to the then-No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, the Wisconsin Badgers were left searching for answers.
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.
After a long day of classes on a typical Tuesday afternoon, junior kicker Andrew Endicott needed to get his competitive feelings back.
Penn State After a 2-2 start that included a 49-10 loss to Michigan, Penn State has risen from the depths of the Big Ten cellar with three straight wins and an upset victory over the vaunted Ohio State Buckeyes.
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. With the Badgers showing two marks in their loss column, they will need to win this game to keep the pressure on Nebraska, which travels to Ohio next week to take on the talented Buckeyes.
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.
There is nothing quite like a Wisconsin-Iowa game to make you second-guess your love for football. I must admit that I didn’t get to watch almost any of the game live, as I was taking in The Daily Cardinal’s 56-35 pummeling of the Badger Herald in our at annual flag football game at Vilas Park.
The Wisconsin Badgers’ defense knew it had to get back on track after allowing a season-high 30 points last week, and Saturday was mission accomplished as UW (2-2 Big Ten, 5-2 overall) held the Iowa Hawkeyes (3-2, 5-3) out of the endzone in a 17-9 victory in Iowa City to reclaim the Heartland Trophy. Justin Wilcox’s defense is a group that won’t be satisfied with allowing nine points, but the way they shut down senior quarterback C.J. Beathard and the Iowa offense left little to complain about.
