Wisconsin Football: Initial thoughts on BYU

Last year’s game between Wisconsin Football and BYU in Provo was not much of a contest. The Cougars had high expectations at the start of the season, but the Badgers blew them out to a tune of 40-6 on their own turf.

Wisconsin dominated BYU from start to finish on both sides of the ball. Alex Hornibrook was 18/19 passing for 256 yards and 4 touchdowns, setting a program record for completion percentage. Jonathan Taylor also had a big day, rushing for 128 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries.

The defense was also outstanding, holding BYU to just 192 total yards.
