The Badgers welcomed a packed crowd 76,069 strong to Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday’s sunny afternoon as they faced the South Dakota Coyotes.

The game looked to be a good one, as both teams came into the matchup 1-0 after the Badgers defeated Western Michigan 28-14 and South Dakota defeated Northern State 45-3 in Week 1.

The Badgers’ first drive was everything fans were hoping for. They quickly jumped on a loose ball caused by a Chez Mellusi fumble on the first play of the game before quarterback Tyler Van Dyke fired a ball downfield, good for a 32 yard completion to receiver Vinny Anthony II.
