A Happy Sports Saturday
The Wisconsin Badgers faced Nebraska on national TV last night in the Big 10 opener for both teams, and pulled off a rout, 48-17. Led by their elite quarterback Russell Wilson (255 yards passing), the Badgers fell behind early, but poured on the points starting late in the 2nd quarter. Plays by Montee Ball, Nick Toon, and Jared Abbrederis led to the big win.
Earlier in the day, the Michigan Wolverines clobbered visiting Minnesota 58-0, winning the Little Brown Jug trophy for the fourth straight time. QB Denard Robinson passed for 169 yards, and Fitzgerald Toussaint ran for 109 to lead the Wolverines to victory.
