In a challenging encounter at Ohio Stadium, the Wisconsin Badgers struggled to find their rhythm against a dominant Ohio State Buckeyes side. The Badgers managed to accumulate only nine first downs throughout the game compared to their opponents' more effective offense. Despite efforts on both sides of the ball, they were unable to secure more points on the board.


The passing game for Wisconsin saw them complete ten out of seventeen attempts for a total of 108 yards and one touchdown pass which was also their longest for 26 yards. However, this was overshadowed by five sacks allowed that resulted in lost yardage and hindered offensive momentum. On the ground, they rushed thirty-four times but could only muster an average of just over two yards per carry for a total rushing yardage of 83.

Special teams had some bright spots with kickoffs totaling 130 yards and achieving two touchbacks from two attempts. Punting was frequent due to stalled drives; seven punts were made accumulating an average net yardage per punt at forty.


Defensively, there were notable achievements including five sacks totaling thirty-six lost yards for Ohio State and one special teams block contributing to defensive efforts. However, these moments did not translate into turnovers or scoring opportunities as no interceptions or fumble recoveries were recorded by Wisconsin's defense.

Ohio State's performance was marked by efficiency and control as they maintained possession time effectively and capitalized on scoring opportunities throughout all four quarters. Their balanced attack led them to score ten points in the second quarter followed by fourteen points in both third and fourth quarters respectively.


As fans look ahead, attention turns toward Camp Randall Stadium where The Wisconsin Badgers will host Iowa Hawkeyes on November 9th at Madison's iconic venue under artificial lights with kickoff scheduled for 4:00 PM local time (21:00 UTC). This upcoming game will be broadcasted live on FOX network where fans can tune in to support their team.
