Well, that wasn’t fun.
The Wisconsin Badgers were outplayed in seemingly every facet of the football game on Saturday night as they fell to the Michigan Wolverines 38–13. The loss handed Alex Hornibrook only his second road loss as a starter, with both losses coming in Ann Arbor.
Wisconsin and Michigan were both scoreless after the first quarter, but Wisconsin’s defense was on a timer. It battled admirably, but without help from the offense, could only bend so long before breaking. The Wolverines and Badgers traded scores in quick succession to start the game, but that was the last true threat Wisconsin would pose on the evening, as Michigan began to lean on the Badgers near the end of the first half, eventually heading into halftime up 13–7.
