MADISON — A week after upsetting the No. 5 team in the nation, there was discussion of whether the Wisconsin Badgers would suffer an emotional hangover heading into their Week 2 matchup against the Akron Zips.
They answered that question—quite quickly—with a resounding no Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium.
On offense, the Badgers showcased their grinding, dominant run game seen in years past and balanced it with a solid effort in the passing game. Wisconsin’s 586 total yards (294 rushing, 292 passing) was the most since it racked up 627 yards against Nebraska on Nov. 15, 2014.
