The No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers (1-0) utilized an efficient offensive attack, a bend but-don’t-break defensive effort, and an impressive performance from Doak Walker hopeful Braleon Allen to bury the visiting Illinois State Redbirds (0-1) in the season opener at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday night.
Paul Chryst’s team produced over 440 total yards and scored 38 points while holding the Redbirds to just 243 yards of total offense – kicking the 2022 college football season with a 1-0 start.
