No. 10 Michigan visiting No. 14 Wisconsin was expected to be the first showdown of what will be an exciting Big Ten season.

The excitement will have to wait awhile.

The Badgers jumped on the Wolverines early and often and cruised to a 35-14 victory at Camp Randall Stadium. It was the fifth consecutive home win in the series for Wisconsin.

The scoring started on the first drive of the game as the Badgers marched 75 yards in 12 plays, capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by Heisman candidate Jonathan Taylor.
