The Wisconsin Badgers’ offense struggled immensely in their 24-10 loss on the road against Iowa. The Hawkeyes held the Badgers to 227 total yards and forced three turnovers from Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz.
Wisconsin’s lone bright spot on the day was a 51-yard touchdown reception from wide receiver Keontez Lewis before halftime. Otherwise, the offense couldn’t get moving and contributed to 10 points for the Hawkeyes from a fumble and a Mertz pick-six.
The Badgers’ defense played well given the difficult situations they were put in by the offense and were able to get after Iowa QB Spencer Petras. Outside linebacker Nick Herbig racked up three sacks and three tackles for loss. The Wisconsin defense also limited Iowa to 146 total yards.
Although the Badgers are likely out of the race for the Big Ten West, they can hopefully finish the season strong with wins against Nebraska and Minnesota.
