It was a great and important win for Wisconsin on Saturday, October 22. The Badgers won the very close game 17-9. The Badgers defense once again did an amazing job, only allowing 9 points. Wisconsin's offense did only ok as they only produced 17 points. The matchup was a good one, including two of the best big ten teams going against each other. Iowa has a record of 5-3. It is really crazy though that Wisconsin has really only played in very close games. If we want to be the best, we need to beat every unranked team by at least 25 points. Once again the Badgers defense saved us. Our offense really is struggling. We absolutely need to have great units on either side of the ball in order to be the best in the nation.

Wisconsin Badgers Vs. Ohio State

It was a tough loss for Wisconsin on Saturday, October 15th. The Badgers had the lead most of the game, but Ohio State ended up tying the game at the end. The game went into overtime and Ohio State pulled ahead with a 30-23 victory. Wisconsin did just an amazing job on both sides of the ball.  Second string quarterback Alex Horninbrook handled the football very well. On the opposite side of the ball, the Badger's defense looked amazing. One of the best in the country right now. I was very sad that the Badgers lost, but also very happy that they hung in there with Ohio State, ranked number 2 in the nation. It was rough losing at home in front of thousands of Badger fans, but I'm sure most people were greatly surprised that Wisconsin was able to hang in there with the "big guys."

               The Wisconsin Badgers had a bye week this week. This means that Wisconsin did not play any games this week. So instead of analyzing a Wisconsin game, we will look at Wisconsin's huge upcoming game on Saturday. Wisconsin will be playing the number two ranked Ohio State on Saturday, October 15. As we all know, Wisconsin's defense has looked almost unstoppable. The defense has held almost every game to a very close and even matchup. The offense however has looked rather bad especially last game. Wisconsin's second string quarterback Alex Horninbrook failed countlessly to put the ball into a wide open receiver's hands. We need to generate more points of offense by both running and passing the ball. This is the only way we could beat the intimidating Ohio State. This would just be amazing if we could win. It would probably be the biggest upset this season and it would bring us up so much in the rankings. I think the Badgers have it in them to win, but I don't know if they believe that.

Badgers defense brings down a Wolverine with no mercy.

The Badgers suffered their first lost of the season on Saturday, October 1st. It was a great game with an ending of 14-7 Wolverines. The game was rough to watch because it wasn't very entertaining, due to the very low score. Both defenses played very well, but Michigan's defense might have just looked good because Wisconsin's offense was so bad. The Badger's second string quarterback Alex Horninbrook looked awful. I mean he had so many players wide open down field, but he failed to put the ball in the correct spot. He also threw an interception which could have been avoided. I think Michigan struggled to win so much because of their kicker. He missed three field goals in a row that could've given the Wolverines 9 points. They were all in relatively comfortable distance. The Badgers defense really kept them in the game though and that just might be how it will go the rest of the season.
