Badgers come out of a fog both literally and figuratively against the Indiana Hoosiers as they ran their record to a perfect 9-0 in the BIG.
On a day with the high near 50 and the skies cluttered with fog, the Badgers came out on the field at Memorial Stadium in a stupor of their own making and found themselves down early 10-0 to the Hoosiers.
Indiana struck the end zone first with a Richard Lagow to Devonte Williams for 23 yards and a Griffin Oakes extra point and a Oakes 26 yard field goal.

It wasn’t until a Morgan Ellison fumble that Wisconsin woke from their doldrums and put together a seven play 73 yard drive culminating in a Alec Ingold reception from Alex Hornibrook and a Rafael Gaglianone extra point narrowed the gap to three.
