Despite a 21-10 halftime lead, the Wisconsin Badgers lost to the USC Trojans 38-21 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This was a disheartening loss, given how admirably the Badgers performed in the first half. Football is a four-quarter game, and the Badgers failed to match the Trojans in the second half.

Here are three standout players from the 38-21 loss for the Badgers.
