The Wisconsin Badgers (9-5, 6-3 Big Ten) held on to win the Las Vegas Bowl, 20-13 over Arizona State (8-6, 6-3 Pac-12), behind the strength of their defense and a final offensive drive that ran out the final 10 minutes of the game.
Following a first half that saw Wisconsin jump out to a commanding 20-6 lead, the Wisconsin offense lost multiple weapons including Kendric Pryor and Jake Ferguson to injury in the second half, after already being without Danny Davis, who wasn’t available to start the game. Wisconsin’s offense showed the ill effects of missing so many contributors, tallying negative seven yards in the third quarter.
