Around the B1G: Football Week 1 Recap, Week 2 Preview

2015’s first games are in the books. Here’s what happened and what to watch around the conference on MSU’s off week.

Week 1 Results

Quality Win

The Badgers did an excellent job of shutting down LSU’s offense, particularly the passing game (which earned a net of 116 yards on 25 attempts, including sacks). Wisconsin had a slight edge in yardage, 339-257, but struggled to finish drives, with a turnover on downs and an interception in LSU territory in the first half and two more field goals on drives starting in LSU territory. After two quick turnovers in the third quarter, one of which was returned directly for a touchdown by Tre’Davious White, it looked like that might come back to haunt them as a 13-0 lead disappeared in just over a minute.
