MADISON — On a chilly, early November day, the Wisconsin Badgers earned a tough, unspectacular 31–17 victory over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
The Badgers started slow and eventually went into halftime with a 10–0 lead. The big story again this weekend is that starting quarterback Alex Hornibrook left the game with a head injury after missing Wisconsin’s loss to Northwestern with a concussion. He never came back out of the tunnel, and it was Jack Coan the rest of the way for UW.
The Badgers scored on their first two drives of the second half and Coan wasn’t forced to throw a pass before Wisconsin improved its lead to 24–3.
