The Wisconsin Badgers dropped their season-opening contest against Penn State yesterday, as red-zone woes wasted a masterful performance from Jim Leonhard’s defense.
The loss sets Wisconsin back in the Big Ten West, as they saw division rival Iowa come away with a decisive victory over Indiana.
To the naked eye, Wisconsin played a pretty good game yesterday. The defense dominated up front, the running game was good enough and the Badgers traveled to the red zone all day long.
However, the game was largely decided by the Badgers only scoring 7 total points in 4 trips within the Penn State 10 yard line.
