Aggies Score Late But Fall to Big Ten Power Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. – A return trip to America's Dairyland went sour quickly for NM State (0-4) on Saturday afternoon. After not meeting with Wisconsin (2-1, 0-0 Big Ten) since 1962, the Badgers reminded the Aggies of their status among college football's blue-blood with a 66-7 rout.

After a 50-yard kickoff return and a three-play scoring drive for Wisconsin, the NM State defense settled in. For the remainder of the opening frame, the Aggies held the Badgers at bay. After the first quarter, Wisconsin held just a seven-point lead over the Aggies.

Despite a tightly contested first quarter, the second frame was all Badgers.
