The Badgers, and quarterback Joel Stave especially, looked good in the passing game in the opening half, quickly abandoning the unproductive running game and instead opting to use the short pass to move down the field. Stave went 14-for-16 for 149 yards and a score in the first half, finding Alex Erickson for the Badgers only touchdown of the half.
