Indiana doesn’t play Wisconsin in football all that often, but whenever it does, one year in the series history always enters into the pregame conversation.
2001.
The Oct. 6 matchup that season unfolded in ways that so many other IU-Wisconsin football games since 1993 have not — the Hoosiers did to the Badgers what the Badgers typically do to them, rolling to a 63-32 victory.
Consider how the winning team:
- Recorded 343 more rushing yards than the loser
- Opened a 32-point first-quarter lead
- Authored 10 scoring drives — none of which required more than six plays, nor took more than 2:50 off the clock
Sounds like an IU-Wisconsin game, right?
