The Badgers offense continues to struggle. In fact, one of their two touchdowns scored in the game by the Badgers came on Kenzel Doe’s 82-yard punt return for a touchdown.
The Badgers escaped when Utah State junior Josh Thompson missed to the right on a 37 yard field-goal attempt with six seconds left.
Next up for Wisconsin (2-1), a home game against Texas-El Paso at 11am Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
