Football: Badgers take season opener handedly with 34-3 win over Western Kentucky

Friday night marked Madison’s unofficial, citywide holiday — it was finally football season.

Western Kentucky visited Camp Randall in the Badgers’ season opener, and it went about how you would expect.

A lack of surprise meant consistent 10-yard pickups from the Badger receiving corps, the occasional inhuman run from Heisman hopeful Jonathan Taylor and a pass rush who made WKU’s offensive line work every snap.

Taylor claimed the first score of the Badgers’ season, ditching the WKU defense for a 47-yard touchdown riddled with contact Taylor wisely chose to ignore.
