The University of Wisconsin football team traveled south to Tampa, Florida, to take on No. 13 ranked Louisiana State University in the ReliaQuest Bowl — formerly known as the Outback Bowl.
UW entered the game with a 7-5 record after tallying wins against rivals in the University of Nebraska and University of Minnesota to end the season. LSU came to Raymond James Stadium with a 9-3 record behind the play of their Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Fortunately for the Badgers, Daniels decided to opt out of the matchup — giving backup quarterback Garrett Nussmeier an opportunity to start for the first time in his career.
