The Wisconsin Badgers had a tough 38-21 loss over the weekend to the USC Trojans, falling to 2-2 on the season and 0-1 in conference play.

Wisconsin had all the momentum early, going into halftime with a 21-10 lead, but saw that quickly evaporate in the second half as USC mounted a comeback, outscoring the Badgers 28-0 over the final 30 minutes.

There were two major turning points in the game: a muffed punt by Tyrell Henry that helped get the Trojans on the board in the second half and then a controversial 4th & 1 run that the Badgers failed to convert, which USC turned into another touchdown.
