Wisconsin rolled to a huge win in Week 3, blowing past New Mexico State with a final score of 66-7. 6 Badgers registered a carry while 8 Badgers registered a reception as the offense racked up the yardage against the Aggies.
It was a balanced attack for the team with the rushing attack gaining 260 yards and the passing attack picking up more than 300 yards. Braelon Allen was the team’s leading rusher with 86 yards and a trio of touchdowns on 15 carries.
In the receiving game, Skylar Bell led all Badgers with 4 catches for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns. Keontez Lewis, Isaac Guerendo (2) and Chez Mellusi also accounted for touchdowns.
When the final whistle eventually blew, it was a true blowout and the most points the Badgers have scored in nearly 8 seasons. It was also the highest output for the Paul Chryst era at Wisconsin.
