In Jim Leonhard’s first game as interim head coach Saturday, the Wisconsin Badgers (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) rolled to a 42-7 win over the Northwestern Wildcats (1-5, 1-2 Big Ten) at Ryan Field.
The Badgers had quite an emotional week following the firing of ex-head coach Paul Chryst last Sunday. The controversial move came as quite a shock to the players in the locker room. Yet, the team was able to dominate on Saturday, proving their talent and capability of winning the Big Ten West.
The Badgers came into Saturday’s game favored, yet some remained unsure whether this team was mentally prepared to play.
