MADISON — The No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers (7-3 overall, 5-2 Big Ten) crushed the Northwestern Wildcats (3-7 overall, 1-6 Big Ten), 35-7 on Saturday afternoon en route to their sixth win in a row.
Coincidentally, freshman running back Braelon Allen recorded his sixth straight 100-yard game in the win, rushing 25 times for 173 yards and three touchdowns. Allen tied Anthony Davis’ school record in the game, for most consecutive games with 100+ rushing yards by a freshman, which Davis set in 2001.
Northwestern’s opening drive went for 19 plays and 82 yards and lasted for nearly eight minutes of the first quarter, but was cut short by a Caesar Williams interception in the end zone.
