Wisconsin vs. Western Kentucky: Defense leads Badgers to victory

Wisconsin’s first drive on offense didn’t go as planned. Jonathan Taylor got a few carries, and a few first downs were had, but it ultimately ended in a punt. There’s wasn’t much excitement on the drive and we were quickly given an opportunity to see what the defense could do.

The defense held its own and quickly forced a punt. Senior linebacker Ryan Connelly sacked the Hilltopper quarterback to spark the team.

On the ensuing Badger drive, Jonathan Taylor finally gave the crowd something to get excited about. He broke a 47-yard touchdown to score the first Badger touchdown of the year.
