The No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers (1-2 overall, 0-1 Big Ten) dropped the Shamrock Series game at Soldier Field, 41-13 to No. 12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (4-0 overall) on Saturday afternoon.
Following an early Wisconsin lead, brought about by a 37-yard Collin Larsh field goal on Wisconsin’s opening drive of the game, the Wisconsin offense fell flat for the remainder of the first half, with drives ending with a turnover on downs, an interception and two three-and-outs.
Wisconsin seemed to find its footing on offense in the second half with two scoring drives, one a 4-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a Graham Mertz touchdown pass to Kendric Pryor and another that ended with a 27-yard field goal, capping off a 9-play, 30-yard drive.
