Wisconsin won the toss. They deferred. Nebraska started with the ball.

Casey Thompson started the game after missing the two previous games. Nebraska picked up a first down and made it to midfield, but decided to punt on 4th and 3 at midfield. Brian Buschini’s first punt only went 24 yards.

Nebraska forced a three and out on the first Badger possession. Unfortunately, Nebraska defensive back Marques Buford injured his knee and was carted off the field.

Nebraska 7 - 0

The two teams traded possessions twice. Nebraska did a good job of shutting down Wisconsin’s offense, although the Badgers got as far as the Husker 35 before a grounding penalty drove them back to midfield and they punted.
