Anthony Lotti was the unsung hero for the Badgers against Iowa, averaging 43.6 yards on five punts.

Anthony Lotti the unsung hero for UW as dominant field position helped Wisconsin defeat Iowa

By Lorin Cox | Nov. 11, 2017

Field position isn’t a sexy stat, but it makes all the difference in a tight game where neither offense can consistently sustain long scoring drives. Lost in the defensive dominance and late offensive push by the No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers (7-0 Big Ten, 10-0 overall) was a redemption story for sophomore punter Anthony Lotti, who repeatedly flipped in the field in its 38-14 win over the No. 25 Iowa Hawkeyes.

Badgers clinch Big Ten West title with win over Iowa

By Jake Nisse | Nov. 11, 2017

The No. 6 Badgers (7-0 Big Ten, 10-0 overall) overcame a multitude of mistakes Saturday to stifle No. 25 Iowa 38-14 in a sloppy affair. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Alex Hornibrook threw three interceptions, true freshman running back Jonathan Taylor lost a fumble, and yet Wisconsin still managed to earn its first victory over a ranked opponent this season.

Wisconsin storms past Toledo in dominating 5-0 victory

The Badgers women’s soccer team find themselves trading below freezing temperatures at home for a little warmth and sunshine as they will be roadtripping down to pleasant Columbia, South Carolina to take on the No. 1-seed South Carolina Gamecocks in the second round of the NCAA women’s soccer tournament after handily beating the Toledo Rockets Friday night, 5-0. The game could be viewed as a story of two halves as the Badgers peppered Rockets goalkeeper Madison Perrin with 13 shots and five on goal compared to the Rockets’ two total shots and one on goal.

Badgers look to continue winning ways against Cornell

By Suzie Kazar | Nov. 10, 2017

For the third week in a row, the Wisconsin women’s hockey team is facing a ranked opponent. After sweeping No. 4 Ohio State last weekend (now ranked No. 5) by a combined score of 10-1, the No. 1 Badgers (14-0-0) travel to Ithaca, New York this weekend to take on #7 Cornell (3-1-0). The Badgers, off to their second-best start in program history, head into the series against the Big Red with confidence gained from two straight sweeps over ranked rival opponents, Minnesota and Ohio State.

A perfect switch: Former quarterbacks play key roles for Badgers at new positions

By Jake Nisse | Nov. 10, 2017

As Wisconsin’s first game of the 2017 season wound down and fans began to leave Camp Randall — if they were even still there — redshirt senior safety Joe Ferguson scored his first touchdown as a Badger. The 99-yard interception return not only brought notoriety to Ferguson, who said his Instagram followers increased in the following days, but showcased the speed he routinely displayed in high school as a dual-threat quarterback. Now, as Ferguson plays a different role for the Badgers, he recognizes the benefits of his unique path to safety. “It helps a ton,” Ferguson said of his past experience at quarterback.

Badger defense readies for tough test against Iowa

By Jake Nisse | Nov. 10, 2017

On the back of a week where Iowa upset Ohio State by 31 points, and the Badgers fell in the AP rankings after a comfortable win at Indiana, senior defensive end Alec James is rather uninterested in any of college football’s recent chaos. As his team enters Week 11 with a spotless 9-0 overall record, truthfully, he has little reason to be. “I didn’t know that until you told me,” James said of the Badgers’ recent fall from No. 4 to No. 6 in the AP standings.

Jacobs presents major matchup problem against Hawkeyes

By Noah Bennett | Nov. 10, 2017

When the Badgers played a tight game against Purdue just a few weeks ago, the biggest play of the game wasn’t a Jonathan Taylor touchdown or a Troy Fumagalli catch, but rather, an interception inside the Badgers’ 20-yard line which helped ice the game and keep Wisconsin’s unbeaten season alive.

Ferguson sparks Badgers' secondary in Dixon's absence

By Morgan Spohn | Nov. 10, 2017

The last time the Wisconsin Badgers started a season 9-0 was in 2004. After beating Indiana 45-17 last Saturday, this year’s team tied that benchmark. UW’s defense was relentless all day long as they stifled the Indiana run offense holding them to a measly 40 yards on 21 attempts.
