No bed of roses for Badgers: Wisconsin done in by miscues in Rose Bowl loss to Oregon

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

PASADENA, Calif. — Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst and his players will need a long time to recover from this galling defeat.

No. 11-ranked UW got a mostly stellar effort from its defense, a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Aron Cruickshank and a handful of big plays on offense.

Yet the Badgers committed four turnovers – three fumbles and one interception – and No. 6 Oregon turned those miscues into 21 points en route to a 28-27 victory in the 2020 Rose Bowl in front of a crowd of 90,462.
