Wisconsin-Michigan: Badgers Can't Escape 'The Big House' of Horrors

It was a tale of two halves in the Big Ten opener featuring the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers against the rebuilding Michigan Wolverines. It was a day in which the upset bug was grabbing hold of several top teams around the nation and wouldn't let go. The upset bug first popped up in Corvallis, Oregon on Thursday night when No. 1 USC fell to the unranked Oregon State Beavers. It then made its way to the East Coast and took out No. 4 Florida (Ole' Miss 31-30), No. 16 Wake Forest (Navy 24-17), No. 20 Clemson (Maryland 20-17), and No. 23 East Carolina (Houston 41-24). No. 15 Auburn put up a tough fight and escaped with a 14-12 victory over Tennessee. To Wisconsin, the bug would do no different. The unranked and laughable Wolverines walked away with a 27-25 upset victory over a Top Ten team. The Badgers started the game with an impressive drive, getting inside the ten yard-line, but Philip Welsh missed a 21-yard field goal. Wisconsin got the ball back quickly ... (link)
