The Badgers travelled to face Washington State this past weekend, losing to the Cougars by a score of 31-22. Wisconsin struggled in the first half and couldn’t overcome a 24-9 deficit after the break.
Part of the early issues the Badgers had was a result of the Cougars’ pass rush with one of the opponent’s first half touchdowns coming on a strip sack by Brennan Jackson with two minutes to go.
A costly fumble (somewhat controversial) by running back Chez Mellusi in the fourth quarter led to a Washington State touchdown, giving the Cougars a nine-point lead with 5:30 left in the game.
