Last: Wisconsin 35, Nebraska 28

Wisconsin wins on Senior Day, getting a game-saving stop past the defence in the last seconds. Braelon Allen ran for an astonishing 228 yards and connected to build his legend. Nebraska answered every score but not quite the last one. So many big plays for both sides in this game.

The Badgers hold and are going to survive! (0:04/4th)

Faion Hicks broke upward the pass, Keeanu Benton provided the pressure level and the Wisconsin Badgers are going to survive. What a wild game. Scott Frost gets an unsportsmanlike penalty in the aftermath -- could have been a pass interference on Hicks maybe? No flag and Wisconsin can clinch the Big X West by chirapsia Minnesota adjacent week.

It's fourth downwardly (0:12/4th)

It comes down to this after a third direct incomplete pass by Martinez. Nebraska uses its 2d timeout. It can still go a outset downward if it makes it to the one-grand line, but that's obviously not the target. Wisconsin clinging to its i-score lead.

It's 3rd and 20 from the 21 (0:17/4th)

Nebraska calls its first timeout afterward a second incomplete pass intended for Toure. Not specially close, and now Wisconsin knows information technology'southward two plays away from victory.

Huge holding call on Nebraska (0:23/quaternary)

Nebraska just got flagged for property, so the brawl backs up to the Wisconsin 20-g line. Only 30 seconds to play and still kickoff down.

Leo Chenal pressures Martinez into an incompletion out of bounds. It's 2nd and twenty.

Nebraska is driving, big-time, and will they get for 2 if they get a touchdown? (0:34/quaternary)

Time is running out, only Nebraska is on the Wisconsin 23-yard line. Gotta think the Huskers get for two if they become the score. They take all iii timeouts remaining, but they're content to let the clock tick under a infinitesimal.

Wisconsin virtually to exist flagged for pass interfernce to give Nebraska a great chance to tie or win this game. Ball at the 11.

Wisconsin kicks it out of bounds, and then a bad get-go (3:50/4th)

Collin Larsh's kick goes out of premises, so Nebraska gets the brawl at its own 35-yard line. Non the start the defense needed to endeavor and seal off this game.

Braelon Allen is GONE and the Badgers atomic number 82 still once again (3:50/4th)

Maybe a fourth dimension-crunching drive would be expert. A home-run rush is ameliorate.

Braelon Allen just went 53 yards for a touchdown, eluding a tackle from Myles Farmer well downfield before negotiating the final yards. With Melvin Gordon here to watch, Allen putting upwards a vintage Wisconsin running-back game.

The truthful freshman is up to 228 yards on 22 carries. That's a 10.4 average, with three touchdowns.

Tin Wisconsin's defence force keep the atomic number 82?

UW looking for a winning drive (5:33/fourth)

Braelon Allen just moved the bondage with a 4-grand run, and Wisconsin has information technology on their own 36.

Wisconsin's longest bulldoze today has chewed upward 5:23; it'd obviously exist ideal if they could go but a little longer than that with a score to cap it off. That'southward likely going to feature al ot of Allen.

Nebraska TOUCHDOWN and the game is tied once once more (6:27/4th)

Marvin Scott ran for a 3-yard touchdown to equalize things over again here at Camp Randall Stadium. A long connectedness even so again with tight end Austin Allen set the score.

For a while, it looked like Wisconsin had caught a break. A massive 33-yard running play by Nebraska downwards to the 13-grand line was negated by holding, bankroll the Huskers back to their own 44 facing 3rd and 14.

But Martinez, who is now the program's all-fourth dimension offensive yardage leader, then found Austin Allen over the middle at the UW 45 to set up up 4th and 2. And he establish Allen again for a long heave backside the defense to ready first and goal at the 7-chiliad line.

Allen now with seven catches for 143 yards.

WISCONSIN 28, NEBRASKA 28

Badgers stopped on fourth downwards (ten:nineteen/4th)

Wisconsin went for it on 4th and 1 on the Nebraska 31-yard line, but fullback John Chenal is stopped for a loss and Nebraska volition get a take a chance to tie this game. Plenty of fourth dimension remains.

Jake Ferguson defenseless his seventh pass of the day, now upward to 85 yards receiving, but he was curt of the marker on a tertiary-downwards catch. Wisconsin'south 28-21 lead remains tenuous.

That's a career-loftier for receiving yardage in a game past Ferguson and matches his escond-best output for receptions. He had ix against Penn Country earlier this year.

INTERCEPTED by Wilder over again (thirteen:38/fourth)

Collin Wilder just came down with his 2nd interception of the game; he was the just potential ball-catcher in the surface area after Martinez uncorked another wild deep brawl. The chunk plays were there early for Nebraska, but they haven't been coming as speedily since. The Badgers accept the ball at their own 46-yard line looking to finally go up multiple scores. UW leads, 28-21.

Martinez had 5 interceptions in the last two games (four against Purdue). He'southward got two more today in 23 throws.

Terminate third quarter: Wisconsin defence with tertiary and ane opportunity

Nebraska has clawed dorsum to a tertiary and ane situation at the 15-g line, and that's going to be ane of the biggest snaps of the game when it kicks off the third quarter. Badgers bring a 28-21 atomic number 82 into the concluding period of play.

Nebraska special-teams miscue backs Nebraska up deep in own territory (0:59/3rd)

Alante Brown signaled fair catch near the goal line on the first only muffed information technology, leaving Nebraska with possession on the half-dozen-g line. On top of that, the Huskers committed a belongings penalty on outset down, and so information technology'southward now first and xiii on the three-yard line. UW with a chance to really bury Nebraska here.

TOUCHDOWN WISCONSIN (ane:30/3rd)

Riding a second (and third) attempt to elude tacklers, Braelon Allen works his style to the stop zone and Wisconsin has once again re-taken the pb.

Allen is up to 153 thousand and 2 scores, simply Wisconsin hasn't been able to stop Nebraska from responding today. Here's a big chance.

WISCONSIN 28, NEBRASKA 21

Wisconsin facing monster 3rd down inside v-1000 line (1:36/tertiary)

Braelon Allen is up to 150 yards rushing on xv carries, including a 22-yard that put the Badgers on the Nebraska 10-yard line, but now the Badgers are facing a 3rd and goal on the three-1000 line and had to employ their showtime timeout of the half.

Braelon Allen leaves gimpy and is replaced by Julius Davis, only then returns (4:fifteen/3rd)

Braelon Allen, who's been contesting an ankle or foot injury for some time, simply checked out and Julius Davis came on to replace him. Badgers facing 3rd and three without their workhorse.

Simply Mertz finds Kendric Pryor for a chunk play beyond midfield, a 28-yard proceeds, and Allen checks dorsum in.

Nebraska has tied the game again with a TOUCHDOWN (six:24/3rd)

Adrian Martinez'due south keeper from the 1-grand line crosses the airplane and the Huskers only refuse to sacrifice control of this game. It's tied once more at 21-all.

Martinez hit Levi Falck for a start downward to the Badgers 23-yard line, a gain of 12 yards, then Austin Allen for a 22-yard ball downward to the one-k line, where he was pushed out of bounds only before the pylon. Martinez, who's up to 237 yards passing and xiii internet yards rushing, took it from in that location.

On 3rd and six from the 47-g line of Wisconsin, Martinez found Allen for vii yards and a first downwards.

Leo Chenal did come back on the field after missing a few plays, just the UW defense just isn't its normal cocky today.

WISCONSIN 21, NEBRASKA 21

Leo Chenal downwards with an injury (9:43/3rd)

Uh-oh, Wisconsin star linebacker Leo Chenal is downwardly on the field, possibly with something in his arm or shoulder. That's a very tough loss to navigate if he'due south done for whatever length of fourth dimension. He's walking to the sideline.

Nebraska has a 1st and x at its own 49-thou line. Again, moving the brawl relatively easily and upwards to 263 yards of crime. Samori Toure has iv catches for 83 yards.

Tatum Grass checking in for Chenal.

Iowa about to win, and so Wisconsin will need win confronting Minnesota (plus a win today, obviously)

Iowa is putting the finishing touches on an expected win over Illinois. There was a scenario where UW won today and both Iowa and Minnesota lost that would shore up a West segmentation title even with a loss next calendar week at Minnesota.

Of course, Wisconsin will want to win the Axe Game regardless. But at present it knows it'll have to win unless Iowa loses adjacent week ... at Nebraska.

Minnesota also leading Indiana, 21-vii.

TOUCHDOWN WISCONSIN (11:35/3rd)

What a glorious throw to the end zone by Graham Mertz, who hits Kendric Pryor for a become-ahead touchdown. It'due south a 17-yard sling and Wisconsin reclaims the lead at 21-xiv. Braxton Clark was there for Nebraska, but Pryor seemed to trunk him away from the ball.

Turnover past Wilder quickly turns into points simply four plays later on. The drive covered 33 yards.

INTERCEPTED by Badgers (13:36/3rd)

Collin Wilder had an piece of cake interception in center field after Adrian Martinez made a poorly located throw. Nebraska had already gotten to its own twoscore, but Wilder jumped ahead of a receiver then raced dorsum twoscore yards, putting Wisconsin on the Nebraska 33-yard line. It'due south the starting time turnover of the game for either team.

Adrian Martinez is warming upwards before start of third quarter

Adrian Martinez didn't play on the final series at quarterback for Nebraska to end the start half, merely he's warming up to start the third. Obviously still something to watch, Unclear what the injury issue would exist.

Numbers of note at halftime

Wisconsin is just ane of 6 on 3rd downward in this game, a recurrence of the trouble that haunted the Badgers before this year. They've converted 1 of two on fourth down.

Braelon Allen has nine carries for 113 yards and a touchdown. His big 71-yard rumble is of course 1 of the highlights of this game. Stephan Bracey's render of the opening starting time for a touchdown is the other. Both teams have been cashing in on big plays.

Jake Ferguson has 3 catches for 42 yards but a plush property penalty that brusque-circuited a red-zone opportunity, one that ended with a missed field goal.

Was Adrian Martinez injured?

Logan Smothers was in at quarterback for that final offensive series, and plainly Adrian Martinez was on the sideline with his helmet off. If he can't play for Nebraska, that's a massive, massive story for this game.

Halftime, and we're tied, 14-fourteen

Wisconsin hasn't had many tight games this year; Notre Dame was close in the fourth quarter before things fell autonomously and Penn Land was certainly close to open the twelvemonth. Simply UW has been in control since that 1-3 start, and this is the offset fourth dimension they're facing adversity.

The two teams head to the locker room tied at 14.

Nebraska owns the yardage battle, 220-188. Feels like the outset squad to turn it over today might be in trouble.

That didn't terminal long; Wisconsin gives it correct dorsum with a punt (0:50/2nd)

Wisconsin's offense goes three-and-out itself, and a Vujnovich punt is off-white caught at the UW 10-yard line. Nebraska volition get last cleft (albeit a long shot) and the kickoff to open the second half.

Wisconsin finally gets a 3-and-out (1:35/second)

The UW defense is usually awash in iii-and-outs, but the first one today comes belatedly in the first half. Wisconsin has information technology nearly midfield simply not much time to work with to try and get the lead before the intermission.

Badgers drive stalls in red zone, and kick is no skilful (2:43/2nd)

Wisconsin is missing some opportunities here today.

Collin Larsh simply missed a 32-yard field goal, with a bad snap surely complicating the issue. Wisconsin had gotten into the red zone but comes away empty handed.

Referees missed a blatant face mask and called a hold on Jake Ferguson on the same play, making it 1st and twenty on the 22-yard line. Wisconsin clawed back to the 15 before the field goal attempt.

How-do-you-do to Julius Davis at least, who ran twice for 22 confident yards on the drive.

The teams are still tied at 14 and Nebraska gets the ball to start the second half.

TOUCHDOWN Nebraska (half dozen:35/2nd)

We're all tied upward after Martinez found Toure for a curt pass on tertiary down. Wisconsin stacked the box with 8 guys, but Martinez was unbothered. The Badgers are going to have to earn this one.

8 plays, 33 yards, 3:02 on the drive. That Alexander Smith unsportsmanlike penalty put the Badgers defense behind the viii-ball to start, and Nebraska has solved the puzzle of UW's defense overall.

WISCONSIN 14, NEBRASKA 14

Nebraska threatening to necktie the game (half-dozen:39/2nd)

Once over again, Nebraska has moved the ball with ease, and Wisconsin is once again facing a dire state of affairs. Nebraska just called time out on the iv-g line, though information technology'southward third down later a short run and pass out of the end zone.

Nebraska has 208 full yards (154 through the air), with Wisconsin at 122. Wisconsin entered today with an average of 216.3 yards allowed.

Badgers go nowhere and Nebraska has good field position (9:37/2nd)

A sack of Graham Mertz by Nebraska'due south Garrett Nelson sealed a three-and-out deep in its ain cease, and Andy Vujnovich had to punt from the back of his cease zone. He got a fortuitous bounce, but the ball even so didn't quite go far back to midfield.

And Alexander Smith gets dinged for unsportsmanlike conduct, so that'south some other fifteen yards. Nebraska volition be sitting nicely at the 33 of UW.

That'south the starting time time Mertz has been sacked since the Purdue game. He'd been kept upright for the battles against Iowa, Rutgers and Northwestern and the start quarter today.

Nebraska goes for information technology on fourth and 2 from the six and turns information technology over (11:53/2nd)

Nebraska got stuffed on third and short for a loss, so tried a pass on 4th down from the Wisconsin 6-yard line, but Martinez'due south pass to the back of the end zone was cleaved upwardly by Scott Nelson.

I like the aggressiveness for a team that already knows it's not going to a bowl game. I mean, why not? Wisconsin now takes over deep in its own territory, but it keeps the 14-7 lead.

Again, Nebraska dials up clamper plays to reach Wisconsin territory (finish commencement quarter)

A 34-yard pass to wide open tight end Austin Allen has Wisconsin on its heels a lilliputian scrap already on the ensuing series, putting the Huskers beyond midfield. Adrian Martinez and Nebraska have been able to dial up a number of big plays so far to burn UW's trusty defense.

And then, Martinez keeps it on an option play and darts through traffic for a lightning-quick xix yards down to the 28. He's a very tough matchup for UW. Nebraska volition have the ball there with a first down to open the second quarter.

TOUCHDOWN WISCONSIN (1:59/1st)

After a long filibuster to tend to injured Nebraska defensive end Caleb Tannor, Braelon Allen took the ball on third and ane and rumbled 71 yards for a touchdown. Yet another big play, and Wisconsin at present has the lead.

Cam Taylor-Britt almost caught Allen at the terminate of the play after missing an initial tackle when he tried using his shoulder instead of wrapping up.

Tannor, past the way, walked slowly off the field after requiring some on-field attention. He tried to tackle Braelon Allen and seemed to go the worst of information technology.

Allen now has vii carries and 109 yards already. A monster.

WISCONSIN fourteen, NEBRASKA seven

Nick Herbig with a sack to hogtie Nebraska punt  (3:22/1st)

Nick Herbig continued his big yr with a tackle of Martinez for a 6-yard loss, and that compelled Nebraska to punt from plus territory. The Huskers virtually downed the brawl well-nigh the goal line, only it'southward a touchback, and Wisconsin is out to its own 20.

It's notofficiallya sack because Martinez was running, but it's a big tackle-for-loss withal.

Martinez carving upwardly Wisconsin defense, but big third-down awaits (4:14/1st)

We just haven't seen a squad have this level of quick success against Wisconsin's defence this year. But Adrian Martinez marched Nebraska right downward the field to the Wisconsin 31 earlier a snap got deflected past a homo in motility and led to the offset minus-play of the drive.

That made it 2nd and 15. Martinez's hurried laissez passer (cheers to an approaching Jack Sanborn) to Levi Falck then went incomplete. At present, the Huskers have called timeout, facing 3rd and 15 at the UW 36.

Two drops prove costly as Badgers turn it over on downs (7:22/1st)

Kendric Pryor straight dropped a ball that was thrown right to him down inside the 5-thou line. Great laissez passer by Graham Mertz, though it looked like Pryor wasn't wholly sure of his footing and it bounced off his chest and out of premises.

Instead of a first down, Wisconsin wound up facing fourth and 6 from the 33, and a short pass to Brady Schipper was once more on target merely barbarous incomplete as he fell to the footing.

John Chenal picked up iii yards on an earlier 4th and inches with a patient rush, merely information technology wound up going for naught.

On the vivid side, Mertz is once once again looking accurate early. But Nebraska has the ball at the Huskers 33-m line.

The big plays keep coming as Wisconsin reaches midfield (11:37/1st)

Braelon Allen simply surged upwardly the heart through a big hole for an xviii-yard acquit, and Wisconsin has the brawl right on the 50. Allen already has 27 yards on his first two carries.

Feels like we're in for a wild day correct at present. Nebraska loves big plays and Wisconsin is stingy confronting them (and all plays, actually). Will be fascinating to come across if Wisconsin adjusts swiftly, and if they can keep the pressure on with their offense.

Nebraska TOUCHDOWN (12:41/1st)

Wow, not sure anyone could have seen this coming, only we're nearly tied and there'south withal 12:41 on the first-quarter clock.

Markese Stepp just kept his legs churning on an 8-yard run, ruled a touchdown just ultimately overturned on review, down at the 1-yard line. And then he took it once more and scored on the next snap.

Toure was open up over again for a 27-thousand catch preceding the score. He now has two catches for a ridiculous 69 yards. And over again, did I mention,information technology's barely two minutes into the game?

Kickoff fourth dimension in a while that Wisconsin's defense has been sliced up like that. Maybe the new offensive coaches accept some ideas for Nebraska.

That'due south a five-play drive that traveled 74 yards. Sixty-9 yards came through the air to Toure.

Nebraska airs information technology out on first downwards for a 42-yard gain (13:47/1st)

Is it merely going to be this kind of game?

Samori Toure caught a 42-one thousand heave from Adrian Martinez and the Huskers are already cooking at the Wisconsin 30-yard line, though they but got flagged on 2d down for a motion punishment.

Hold on to your butts today.

Stephan Bracey returns opening kickoff for touchdown! (14:47/1st)

Holy smokes, what a start!

Stephan Bracey, in his first game good for you this season, picked up a billowy beginning and then ran information technology back for a TOUCHDOWN. Information technology may not accept been the sonic boom of David Gilreath, but that'due south a heck of a way to start a contest. It'due south a 91-yard run to the house.

WISCONSIN vii, NEBRASKA 0

Nebraska wins the toss and defers to second half

Wisconsin will get the ball first and defend the south cease zone after Nebraska won the toss. Melvin Gordon sporting a flannel instead of a No. 408 bailiwick of jersey, but I guess his presence is bulletin enough.

Seniors getting pregame recognition

This game won't outset strictly on fourth dimension (no surprise) every bit seniors are getting best-selling one-by-ane before the game, running upward a tunnel of Wisconsin marching band members.

One of them is Tyler Mais; a nice day for the Mais family to sentinel younger brother Drew win a country title with Waunakee in this building yesterday followed past Senior Mean solar day festivities today.

Crowd will be late to make it

Just like final week, Camp Randall Stadium is non going to exist full at beginning. Information technology had been reported this week that tickets were adequately easy and cheap to come up by. With less than 20 minutes before outset, here'due south the scene (for those who get concerned nigh such things).

Last week'southward game got pretty full by the end of the showtime quarter.

Jackson Acker sidelined in the latest hit to running-dorsum room

Jackson Acker, a freshman who substantially is the fourth running back but certainly in the mix for some carries, is in a boot and not in uniform.

That means the running back rotation is essentially downwardly to Braelon Allen, Brady Schipper and Julius Davis. Presumably Grover Bortolotti, who got some carries against Rutgers, is adjacent.

I made a error earlier posting a condition report from last week, the new one is out, and there are a couple other surprises.

Hashemite kingdom of jordan Turner, who notched his second interception of the year concluding week, is also out today, as is defensive cease Rodas Johnson, a promising upward-and-coming talent on the defense. They join receiver A.J. Abbott, Acker, linebacker Spencer Lytle and tight end Hayden Rucci on the sideline.

Linebacker Mike Maskalunas, a sixth-year senior who has been out several weeks, is in uniform for Senior Day.

Interesting: Stephan Bracey in uniform today

As Zach Heilprin notes, Stephan Bracey is in uniform for the Badgers today for the first time this year. Perhaps he gets a chance to get in a game and assist in the return game?

Second 24-hour interval in a row at Camp Randall press box

Covered the WIAA land football championships yesterday in the very aforementioned press box and saw future Badgers quarterback Myles Burkett set the new Partition 1 single-game passing record for a state championship game (by ane one thousand) as he led Franklin to the Division i championship. It'due south the school'southward first crown in 15 years.

1 of the guys he was dealing with with Sun Prairie pass rusher Isaac Hamm, the state'south defensive histrion of the twelvemonth and a Badgers recruit. Hamm was great despite a club on his hand, but Franklin had too much firepower.

Burkett'southward 89-yard touchdown pass is the all-time in any land final, regardless of division.

In Division two, the younger blood brother of electric current Badgers player Tyler Mais had an interception for Waunakee, which went on to beat Homestead for the crown.

Seniors will be honored today

The list of seniors who will be honored for Senior Day festivities include:

DE Michael Balistreri, OL Tyler Beach, OL Logan Bruss, OLB Noah Burks, FB John Chenal, WR Danny Davis, WR Jack Dunn, TE Jake Ferguson, OLB Izayah Green-Bay, CB Deron Harrell, DE Matt Henningsen, CB Faion Hicks, S Tyler Mais, ILB Mike Maskalunas, S Scott Nelson, WR Kendric Pryor, ILB Jack Sanborn, OL Josh Seltzner, P Connor Schlichting, OL Blake Smithback, QB Danny Vanden Boom, Southward Collin Wilder, DE Bryson Williams and CB Caesar Williams.

Weird times for senior days with the extra yr allowed to those who played in 2020. Faion Hicks, for case, is amongst those who might come back side by side year.

Others with the correct to return are Nelson, Beach, Bruss, Ferguson, Chenal and Bryson Williams.

Of Class Melvin Gordon is honorary captain

Melvin Gordon, who ran for 408 yards in merely 3 quarters confronting Nebraska in 2014, is today's honorary helm. If you paid attention to the NFL schedule and knew his Denver Broncos had a bye this week, you probably saw this coming from a mile away.

Gordon won the Doak Walker Award at Wisconsin for the nation's best running dorsum that year and took second in the Heisman Trophy voting. He made a Pro Bowl with the Chargers in 2017 and is in his seventh pro season, second at Denver.
