The Wisconsin Badgers needed to get humbled, and that’s exactly what happened in Week 2 during a 31-22 loss against the Washington State Cougars on the road.
Fresh off a 38-17 victory in Week 1 that head coach Luke Fickell characterized as “sloppy”, the Badgers looked ready to face off against Washington State, at least based on their words from the week, but their gameplan didn't come to fruition.
Wisconsin was down 24-9 at halftime, marred by two strip-sacks on Tanner Mordecai and a lack of urgency defensively, leading to a deficit that was too tough to overcome in the second half.
