Per Schad:
This week, the Badgers got off to a similar start but weren't able to pull off a comeback against Washington State.
Wisconsin fell behind early and allowed 17 points in the second quarter to go into halftime down 24-9. Even worse? The running game struggled, mounting only 90 yards against the Cougars and fumbling three times between quarterback Tanner Mordecai and running back Chez Mellusi.
The good news for the Badgers was that Mordecai threw for 278 yards and a touchdown but the transition to a "Power Air Raid" offense hit a snag in Pullman on Saturday night.
Go Gophers!!

The Wisconsin Badgers got off to a slow start in Week 1. Then they leaned on the running game, jumped around and all was well in Madison after a 38-17 win over Buffalo.This week, the Badgers got off to a similar start but weren't able to pull off a comeback against Washington State.
