Early signs of the Shamrock Series game played between the No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers (1-2 overall, 0-1 Big Ten) and the No. 12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (4-0 overall), appeared to indicate we were in for a tightly contested game. However, those signs disappeared quickly as Notre Dame crushed Wisconsin 41-13 with a flurry of fourth quarter scores.
While Wisconsin’s offense was unable to put up a strong showing, the Badgers defense had a strong game against the ranked Fighting Irish. The Badger defense had six sacks in the game, led by Nick Herbig who had two of his own.
