The Badgers football team hosted Georgia Southern for a non-conference matchup on Saturday at Camp Randall, defeating the Eagles 35-14. Although the score may suggest that Wisconsin ran away with the game from the start, that was not the case.
The score was knotted up at 7-7 going into halftime before the Badgers turned it around after going down 14-7 early in the second half. The best performance of the game was by Wisconsin’s defense, who forced six total turnovers, five interceptions and a fumble.
Offensively, quarterback Tanner Mordecai went 19/30 for 236 passing yards while turning seven carries into 36 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. Running back Braelon Allen produced 94 yards on 12 carries while scoring twice on the ground. His backfield mate Chez Mellusi also added 61 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.
