This game marked their record at 6-3, while the Bucky Badgers improved to 3-6. The match was a defensive showcase with both teams struggling to break through each other's defenses.

First Quarter

The opening quarter saw both teams locked in a stalemate, with neither side managing to score. The Huskies' defense was particularly effective, forcing three-and-outs and keeping pressure on Wisconsin's offense. Zach Durfee and Jacob Lane were instrumental in this effort, each recording a sack that stifled any momentum from the Badgers.

Second Quarter

Washington took control in the second quarter with Demond Williams leading an impressive drive that culminated in a touchdown pass to Denzel Boston. Grady Gross added three points with a field goal, giving Washington a temporary lead of 10-3 by halftime. However, penalties began to pile up for UDub, which would later prove costly.

Third Quarter

In the third quarter, Wisconsin found their rhythm as they scored ten unanswered points. The Dawgs' defense showed resilience but struggled against key plays from Bucky Badgers’ offense that shifted momentum away from Washington.

Fourth Quarter

The final period saw no additional points added by either team as defenses dominated once again. Despite efforts from Adam Mohammed and Jonah Coleman on rushing plays and attempts by Demond Williams through passing lanes, Washington could not overcome Wisconsin's defensive wall.
