Badgers upset No. 7 Nebraska in overtime barnburner

By Andrew Tucker | Oct. 29, 2016

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.

Teams back from the dead

By Bobby Ehrlich | Oct. 29, 2016

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.

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.

Badgers welcome Armstrong Jr., Nebraska to bright lights of Camp Randall

By Jessi Schoville | Oct. 28, 2016

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.

Defense suffocates, offense struggles in Badgers' win over Hawkeyes

By Lorin Cox | Oct. 23, 2016

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.

Tough talk: Violence unavoidable, celebrated in football

By Thomas Valtin-Erwin | Oct. 21, 2016

I’ll be the first to admit that I love football. There’s something inherently primal about lining up in front of someone, knowing that your only goal in that moment is either to get past them or stop them from getting past you. It’s not necessarily always that simple, but when you get the ball in your hands, all you’re focused on is plowing through people to reach your goal.
