BYU coach Kalani Sitake stressed the challenge of the Cougars matching the physicality of Wisconsin in their matchup with the No. 6 team in the country.
Challenge accepted, and accomplished.
BYU pulled off the major upset, beating the sixth-ranked Badgers 24-21 behind a solid effort from all three facets of the game. It was the first time a non-conference opponent beat Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium since 2003.
Offense
One week after BYU struggled offensively to get anything going in a 21-18 loss to California, the Cougars’ offense showed marked improvement against Wisconsin.
