MADISON — The No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers (1-1, 0-0 conference) cannot overcome missed opportunities, losing to Washington State (2-0, 0-0 conference), 17-14.
With just over six and a half minutes remaining in the game, Wisconsin got gift in the form of a fumble, which directly followed a Graham Mertz interception.
Wisconsin had a new life, as it trailed Washington State, 17-14. Clay Cundiff was then penalized for pulling a man off of the pile, which moved Wisconsin back to the WSU 35-yard-line.
A few plays later, Mertz connected with Cundiff on a 22-yard completion, but Cundiff fumbled the ball, turning it over to Washington State, ending Wisconsin’s chances at a comeback.
