Looking to continue the momentum from their Homecoming victory over Illinois last weekend, Wisconsin traveled to a place where they haven’t had much luck over the past decade or more: Ryan Field in Evanston.
Eventually, the Badgers would fall by a score of 31-17 on Saturday afternoon.
Aside from starting quarterback Alex Hornibrook’s absence, things started auspiciously, as the Badgers burned a timeout before the first play of the game was ran to avoid a delay of game penalty. While things started well for Wisconsin, as a Ryan Connelly tipped pass caromed to reserve safety Evan Bondoc, who was making his second consecutive start in place of senior captain D’Cota Dixon.
