The Wisconsin Badgers withstood a test from a feisty Indiana Hoosiers squad on Saturday afternoon, eventually pulling away with 21 unanswered points during an impressive fourth quarter in a 45–17 win in Bloomington, Ind.
Now 9–0, this Wisconsin squad has equaled the 1998 and 2004 teams in having the best start in the modern era.
The offense imposed its will on Indiana’s defense, especially in the fourth quarter with a back-up fullback netting a hat trick of touchdowns on the day. UW’s defense held an Indiana offense priding itself on being fast-paced to just 55 plays while recording multiple interceptions and sacks of Hoosiers quarterback Richard Lagow.
