Fresh off its first loss of the 2016 campaign, the No. 6-ranked Wisconsin volleyball team will travel to Texas with hopes of redeeming itself against No. 16 Texas A&M (6-3) and No. 2 Texas (7-1) this weekend.
Let’s put the cart way before the horse, just for the fun of it. Could this be the best year ever for Badger athletics?
The Wisconsin Badgers (3-2-3) are riding a two-game win streak to open Big Ten play on Friday against No. 19 Ohio State (6-2-0) at the McClimon Soccer Complex.
Despite its 2-0 record, No. 22 Oregon has been relatively unimpressive to start the season. A 25-point win over UC-Davis (yes, they have a football team) and an 18-point win over Virginia are both weak victories. Nebraska, on the other hand, has won both its games by an average of 34 points and shows no signs of slowing down.
The Big Ten was the story of week two as the top four teams won by a combined score of 195-44. After a shocking win over then-No. 5 LSU, the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers solidified their place in the top tier of college football with a 54-10 walloping of Akron.
Aside from Northwestern losing to Illinois State on a last-second field goal—and a field goal that banked off a goal post at that—it was a relatively ho-hum week for the Big Ten.
In their previous matchup last week against Air Force, the Panthers gave up 464—yes, you read that right—464 rushing yards on 83 rushing attempts by the Falcons. Astoundingly, this offensive rushing explosion by their opponent is not an isolated incident.
The Georgia State Panthers certainly will have their work cut out for them this upcoming weekend when they face off against the Wisconsin Badgers. But in a college football season already littered with upsets and surprises, the Badgers should be prepared for anything to happen.
Football After coming off a huge, upset victory in week one versus LSU, the Badgers continued their hot start to the season with a 54-10 romp over Akron.
The Badgers had a tough weekend in Chapel Hill, N.C.,for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, losing their first match of the season. In the first highly contested match of the weekend, Wisconsin took on No. 11 North Carolina.
At the University of Wisconsin, men’s and women’s soccer are not typically the most popular sports, at least compared to their higher-attended counterparts like football and basketball.
There was nothing particularly remarkable or enthralling about Wisconsin’s 54-10 win over Akron in Saturday’s home opener at Camp Randall Stadium.
On paper, the No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers’ (2-0) home-opening matchup against the Akron Zips (1-1) was going to be an easy win.
The Wisconsin Badgers’ (2-0) home opener went about as smooth as they could ask for, cruising to a 54-10 victory over the Akron Zips (1-1). Any doubts of a let-down following their big win over LSU were eliminated pretty early, as UW controlled the clock and the game from the start at Camp Randall Stadium. Receiving the opening kickoff, the Badgers possessed the ball for the first seven minutes of the game, pounding the ball down the field on a 13-play touchdown drive that set the tone for the day.
The Wisconsin (2-1-1) men’s soccer team earned its second win of the season on Friday, as junior forward Tom Barlow notched the winner in double overtime to sink Michigan (0-2-3) by a score of 2-1.
At its last home game, Wisconsin’s (2-2-3) head coach Paula Wilkins said that her team needed to find a way to win.
Week 1 of the 2016 college football season is officially in the books, and what a week it was.
Coming out of camp true freshman Anthony Lotti won the starting punter competition over redshirt sophomore P.J.
No position group underwent more turnover than the Wisconsin secondary this offseason as Darius Hillary, Tanner McEvoy and Michael Caputo all went off to chase their NFL dreams.
