The Wisconsin Badgers ended their regular season on a bitter note yesterday, losing to the Iowa Hawkeyes 28-7 and falling to 2-3 on the year.

After what was a remarkable start to the season with two blowout victories, it has become a year to forget for Badgers fans with three straight losses and several COVID-19 related cancellations.

There is a lot to take away from the Iowa game, however, including areas where the team must improve heading into a hopefully-normal 2021 season.

While the final score indicated a poor showing all across the field, there were also some Badgers who did all they could yesterday to lead the team to victory.

Here are studs and duds from Wisconsin’s 28-7 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes:

The No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers battled hard down the stretch but in the end came up short in the red zone and lost to the No. 10 Indiana Hoosiers 14-6.

The game was dominated statistically by Paul Chryst’s team with the Badgers gaining 342 offensive yards to the Hoosiers’ 217, 140 rushing yards to 87, 50% on third down to 40% and 35:08 time of possession to 24:52.

In the end, however, it came down to Graham Mertz and the offense being unable to capitalize on red zone opportunities, the offense being depleted in many areas and a talented Indiana defense coming away with stops when they needed them most.

Here are five takeaways from the Badgers’ loss:
