So, that was interesting.
No. 5 Wisconsin’s 45-14 win over New Mexico was a game of early mistakes followed by redemption.
Sophomore running back Jonathan Taylor and the Badgers’ defense made errors that had fans nervous only to finish with eye-popping stats.
Here are the unit grades:
Offense: A- (C- first half/A+ second half)
Hornibrook threw for 148 yards passing and a touchdown, finishing with a 197.6 quarterback rating. The junior had an awful looking fumble-interception early in the third quarter, putting the Badgers defense in a tough, sudden change situation. He was bailed out a few plays later by redshirt freshman safety Scott Nelson’s red zone interception, his first in his career.
