After Michigan handled the Badgers, 38-13, at Michigan Stadium in 2018, Wisconsin returned the favor by throttling the Wolverines, 35-14.
Scoring all five of their touchdowns on the ground, junior running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Jack Coan chipped in two scores apiece.
Improving to 3-0 with the win, the Badgers are very likely to move into the top-10 in the latest AP Poll. They host the 1-2 Northwestern Wildcats on Saturday (12:00PM ET, ABC).
Allowing 359 yards on the ground, Michigan lost the battle at the line of scrimmage all afternoon. Now 2-1, the Wolverines will look to bounce back vs. the 1-2 Rutgers Scarlet Knights on September 28 (12:00PM ET, BTN).
FOX will broadcast Oklahoma (3-0) vs. Texas Tech (2-1) on Saturday. TCU (2-1) vs. Kansas (2-2) will air on FS1.
