The game at Camp Randall Stadium saw the Wisconsin Badgers assert their dominance early on, setting the tone for what would become a day of substantial gains and effective execution. The Badgers' offense was particularly potent on the ground, amassing an impressive total of 317 rushing yards over 46 attempts. This relentless ground attack was punctuated by three rushing touchdowns, including a notable longest rush that spanned 38 yards into the end zone.


Wisconsin's passing game also contributed to their scoring efforts with one touchdown pass and an overall passing gain of 156 yards from 23 attempts. Despite two interceptions thrown by Wisconsin quarterbacks, they managed to maintain control throughout most of the game with key completions that led to nine first downs through air.


Special teams played their role efficiently as well; Wisconsin kickers were perfect on the day with one field goal made from within 39 yards and all extra point kicks sailing through without issue. Punters for Wisconsin placed both punts inside Rutgers' twenty-yard line, contributing to field position battles decisively in favor of The Badgers.


Defensively, The Badgers held firm against Rutgers' advances. Although no sacks were recorded by either side during this contest, Wisconsin managed two tackles for loss and prevented any significant breakthroughs from their opponents’ offense. A blocked punt added another highlight for The Badger’s special teams unit.


Rutgers did find some late momentum in the fourth quarter where they scored fourteen points but it wasn't enough to overcome their deficit or disrupt Wisconsin's path to victory before an attendance crowd numbering over seventy-four thousand fans.


Looking ahead after this commanding performance at home, The Wisconsin Badgers are set for another challenge as they travel to face off against Penn State Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium in University Park on November ten o'clock post meridiem Eastern Time Zone.
