Tom Oates: Badgers turn in complete performance in high-altitude road test against BYU

PROVO, Utah - Many people studied the football schedule for the University of Wisconsin during the offseason and opined that there are only a handful of chances for the Badgers to lose.

The first of those games was against BYU Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

The UW-could-be-in-trouble crowd was not without ammunition all week. The 10th-ranked Badgers had two promising yet mildly unsatisfying victories in their first two games, they were playing on the road for the first time, they were dealing with high altitude for the first time and they were facing an independent program that plays a brand of physical, big-boy football which allows it to match up well with teams from the power conferences.
