It was the Badgers defense that really struggled on Saturday, as the unit gave up 44 points and 473 yards of total offense. Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola looked like the QB from early in the season while throwing for 293 yards and 1 touchdown. Running back Emmett Johnson had 113 yards, and fellow running back Dante Dowdell had 41 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The winner of this game became bowl-eligible with Nebraska reaching the mark for the first time since 2016. Meanwhile, Wisconsin moves on to a must-win situation against Minnesota if the Badgers want to reach a bowl for the 23rd straight season.
Wisconsin ends the regular season next week vs. Minnesota, who lost a heartbreaking game to Penn State by a score of 26-25.
