Six years ago, Wisconsin and Ohio State met under the lights at Camp Randall Stadium on a night that Badgers fan will never forget. At the time of the 2010 meeting, Bret Bielema was in his fifth year as UW’s head coach and still searching for a true signature win.
The Wisconsin Badgers have another defensive starter going under the knife as junior Derrick Tindal had surgery on his right hand Tuesday, the team confirmed. A team official described it as a minor procedure, and Tindal is not expected to miss the team’s next game against Ohio State. Tindal did not leave last Saturday’s game against the Michigan Wolverines with any injury, and he registered his third interception of the season off of a pass tipped by redshirt sophomore linebacker Jack Cichy in the third quarter. When Tindal spoke to reporters after the loss, he did not appear to have anything wrong with his right hand, so this surgery comes as a surprise entering the Badgers’ bye week.
The Wisconsin hype train finally hit a speed bump in Ann Arbor. The Badgers were not quite up to the task Saturday afternoon, as the power of Chryst was not enough to compel them to a win over Khaki Jesus and the Michigan Wolverines.

Michigan gave UW a number of chances to take control of the game, as the usually sound Wolverines played their sloppiest game of the season, but time and time again the Badgers failed to capitalize. “We couldn’t really get any drives going,” redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook said.

No one knew quite what we would see from redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook in his first career start, but he blew any expectations out of the water, finishing 16-of-26 for 195 yards, a touchdown and an interception in one of the better performances by a Wisconsin passer in recent years. He dropped dimes up and down the field on the Spartans’ defense, his only interception coming on the last throw of the first half on a failed Hail Mary attempt.
