Hayes: Wisconsin falls just short in the big game for the third time this season

INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Wisconsin football team failed to do exactly what the Badgers have been chasing all season in Indianapolis Saturday night: win the big game.

The Badgers competed pound-for-pound with yet another top-10 foe in Pennsylvania State University in the Big Ten Championship Game, but came up just short again.

Let me make one thing clear, this is not to take even a single ounce away from the level of competition the Badgers proved they had in 2016 as they earned their way from an unranked Cinderella against a then-No. 6 Louisiana State University to a top-10 force competing for the Big Ten Championship.
