GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The beer and brats were flowing at Lambeau Field, a decidedly pro-Wisconsin crowd continuing the parking lot party that began hours earlier. After watching the Badgers fall short the past two years, this was the moment for fans to celebrate their team finally producing a worthy season-opening performance on the big stage.
For the LSU fans that made the long trek up north, they could only scratch their heads about what could have been.
In a game that required every bit of Wisconsin's fortitude, the Badgers came back to fend off No. 5 LSU, 16-14, Saturday afternoon in the Lambeau College Classic.
