It was Senior Day at Camp Randall Stadium Nov. 10, which meant it was the last home game for a host of Badger football players. They went out in style, trouncing the previously undefeated (in Big-10 play) Michigan Wolverines, 37-21.
One of those seniors was quarterback Tyler Donovan, who got sacked in the first quarter by the Wolverine defense (above) but eluded them for a second quarter touchdown (below). Donovan finished the day 14-of-27 for 245 yards and one touchdown through the air. He also ran for 49 yards and a touchdown.
The Badgers’ defense (below) had a few hiccups — mainly giving up a 97-yard touchdown pass on 3rd and 10 late in the third quarter, the longest touchdown reception in Michigan history — but they held the 13th-ranked Wolverines to 48 net yards rushing and limited the Michigan quarterbacks to just 14 pass completions in 41 attempts.
Wisconsin, which is 8-3 overall, will fight the Minnesota Gophers for the Paul Bunyan Axe this coming weekend in Minneapolis in its regular season finale.
