The good news is that it wasn’t bad for the Wisconsin football team. The bad news is that it wasn’t great.
The Badgers’ 34-3 win over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers was not always pretty. The vaunted offensive line that got the cover of Sports Illustrated looked a bit porous. At times, the Hilltoppers was explosive on defense, sacking Quarterback Alex Hornibrook three times and tackling Heisman hopeful Jonathan Taylor several times for a loss. Taylor’s fumbling woes continued, which are a facet of his game he needs to clean up if he wants to win the Heisman and lead this team to a National Championship.
