On a rainy Saturday afternoon, head coach Paul Chryst and the No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers (1-1) suffered a sloppy, inexcusable home loss against the Washington State Cougars (2-0) in front of 75,000 plus at Camp Randall Stadium.
For the second straight week, Wisconsin produced a balanced 401 yards of total offense (227 passing, 174 rushing) but scored only 14 points and turned the ball over three times.
Despite dominating the time of possession, forcing three turnovers of their own, and holding the Cougars to 253 yards of offense, timely mistakes, penalties, and special teams blunders proved to be too much for the Badgers to overcome – falling to 1-1 on the young season.
