No. 14 Michigan traveled to Madison to take on the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday. The Wolverines haven’t won up in Madison since 2001.

All streaks must come to an end. The Wolverines won their first game at Camp Randall in 20 years with a final score of 38-17.

In the first half, Michigan came out dominating, especially on the defensive side. The Badgers had four straight three-and-outs to start the game. The Wolverines led the game 13-3 with 20 seconds left in the second quarter, but the Michigan defense apparently fell asleep, and Graham Mertz threw a couple of long passes — with one of them being a touchdown. The maize and blue went into the locker room up 13-10 at halftime.

The second half started out just like the first half begun Michigan dominance — but it stayed that way the rest of the game. The Wolverines defense was constantly getting pressure on Mertz and Chase Wolf where they had zero time to make good throws. The defense forced two turnovers in the second game en route to a big Michigan victory.

We even got to see a touchdown run and pass from JJ McCarthy in this blowout victory against the Badgers.

Here are three things we learned after the Michigan win.
