Wisconsin missed a field goal to tie the game with 36 seconds left and BYU pulled off the upset of the year (so far) with a 24–21 win at Camp Randall Stadium.
No team outside the Big Ten has been able to beat the Badgers in Madison since UNLV in 2003. But due in part to some tricky mind games from Cougars coach Kalani Sitake, who called two timeouts to ice fifth-year senior kicker Rafael Gaglianone, Wisconsin missed a 42-yard field goal that would have forced the game into overtime.
The sixth-ranked Badgers, who played for a Big Ten championship and beat Miami in the Orange Bowl last season, were a popular preseason pick to make the College Football Playoff this year.
