11:10 A little bit of a delayed start to the blog because of technical issues, but Wisconsin has the ball to start the game and has driven into Indiana territory thanks to hard running from P.J. Hill and Zach Brown.

11:13 The Wisconsin drive stalls out at the 25-yard line after an incomplete pass intended for Travis Beckum. Mehlhaff’s 41-yard field goal sneaks through the uprights and UW leads 3-0.

11:16 Mehlhaff’s kick is returned to the 15-yard line, where Indiana will take over.

11:22 After an incomplete pass and a loss of one on a run, Indiana’s Kellen Lewis airmails his receiver and Indiana is forced to punt.

11:27 P.J. Hill spins his way down to the 10-yard line as Wisconsin is driving inside the Indiana red zone.

11:28 Zach Brown dives up the middle down to the three-yard line, where Wisconsin has a first down.

11:30 Hill plows his way for two yards down to the one. Third and goal for Wisconsin.

12:00 Escaping pressure on the run, Lewis appeared to be stripped of the ball by Jason Chapman. Aaron Henry recovered the fumble and ran it back to the 12-yard line.

12:06 On third down, Lewis is pressured and throws incomplete to force fourth down and a punt.

1:26 UW can’t do anything with the ball after the fumble recovery, and punts it away. Indiana takes over at their own 18.

1:30 On third down, it appeared Indiana had made a momentum-shifting play, with running back Marcus Thigpen breaking a long touchdown run. The play was called back because of a holding penalty on James Hardy, and on top of that, Thigpen was assessed a personal foul penalty for excessive celebration following his run. That set the Hoosiers way back in their own end, and forced an eventual fourth down punt.

1:35 Lance Smith breaks off a 13-yard run down to the 25-yard line for a first down.

2:00 Defensive end Matt Shaughnessy pressures and sacks Lewis for a 11-yard loss.

2:01 On a low punt, David Gilreath takes the return back to the 23-yard line, coming one broken tackle away from scoring a touchdown.

Final Post:

With 2:07 remaining in the game, Wisconsin’s Lance Smith ran in a 19-yard touchdown to give the Badgers a 33-3 advantage. Kicker Taylor Mehlhaff missed the PAT, and that score stuck as the final tally.

On the day, Wisconsin ran the ball for 279 yards on 55 carries. Hill was limited to only 12 carries before he was forced from the game with what Bielema said was a bruised foot. Lance Smith (15 carries, 79 yards) and Zach Brown (14 carries, 41 yards) helped pick up the slack in the backfield.
