MADISON – BYU made a huge statement for its adventure as an independent football program in the heart of Big Ten territory Saturday by pulling off what may be college football’s biggest upset of the young season, a 24-21 victory over No. 6 Wisconsin.
It was an emotional, hard-fought, gutty performance by BYU. Kalani Sitake brought his team in believing when others did not. BYU punched big, bad Wisconsin just as hard and as long as they did and when it was over, it was Wisconsin that couldn’t convert a 42-yard field goal to tie the Cougars who’d had leads most of the game.
