It was the second Badger comeback this season, this time against a number 7 ranked Michigan State team. The downfall of Michigan State was very surprising. I admit thinking that Wisconsin was going to get blown out at the beginning of the game. Little did I know the game was going to have a VERY different outcome. The score of the game was 30-6 and Wisconsin earned each and every one of their points. The Badgers had a great defensive performance, only allowing six points. What sloppy play from Michigan State, only scoring six points! I mean it looked like they were in high school in there with all of the sloppy plays and incomplete passes. It was just amazing play by both sides of the Badgers. I mean the offense scored 30 points and the defense held Michigan State to only six points. The rankings of teams these days just are never final until the end of the season. We have seen so many upsets that it's hard to tell which teams are even good anymore.

The Badgers struggled to hold off the Georgia State Panthers on Saturday, September 17. This was probably the worst performance we've seen this year from the Badgers this season as they barely held off an unranked team with a score of 23-17. I watched the game and they looked very bad, not a good sign for the season. Wisconsin's starting quarterback Bart Houston had a horrible first half, forcing the Badgers to put in freshman Alex Hornibrook. Hornibrook really helped the Badgers pull away and get the win. It was really hard to watch the game because it was just an offensive mistake every time I looked at the TV screen. Hopefully, the Badgers will never perform as horribly as they did this game. If they do, we mine as well just throw our season in the garbage can.

The Wisconsin Badgers took on the Akron Zips on Saturday September 10. The Badgers mercilessly won the game 54-10 in four brutal quarters for the Zips. JJ Watts brother T.J. Watt recorded his first sack as a Badger. The Badgers have really been performing this season, especially last week when they beat #5 ranked LSU. These two wins have resulted in Wisconsin being ranked number 9 in the country.
It was actually very funny watching the Zips play. Going into Saturdays game the Badgers must have already been confident because they were playing an unranked team. Following this, their confidence level greatly increased when they learned that they were playing a team called the Zips. I mean honestly, what kind of a name is Zips compared to other college football names such as Tigers, Rebels, Wolverines, and Spartans. I wonder what it feels like to lose a college football game 54-10. I'm guessing it's a pretty bad feeling.

Welcome to my blog, where I will express my love for the University of Wisconsin-Madison, specifically their athletic program. I personally am a big fan of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is my favorite state which makes Wisconsin my favorite college. My uncle played football for Wisconsin and two of my cousins have attended Wisconsin. 

Going into Saturday, September 3, I would bet all the money in the world that LSU would win this game with no trouble. Fortunately, for me, I did not bet any money on the game because I would have lost a lot of money. Wisconsin won the game with a 47 yard field goal kicked by Rafael Gaglianone, ending the game with a 16-14 score. I personally was not very impressed by either side of Saturday's game. The game was sloppily played on either side including a lot of turnovers that could have been prevented. On the other side, I'm very glad and even surprised that LSU got upset by the unranked Badgers.
