Badgers miss chances, fall to Michigan

October 2, 2016 By Bill Scott

motion-wThe 8th ranked Wisconsin Badgers had opportunities but fell to the 4th ranked Michigan Wolverines 14-7 in Ann Arbor on Saturday afternoon.

The Wolverines jumped out to a 7-0 lead, then had two chances to extend the lead but missed two straight makeable field goals.  Then with the score tied 7-7, the Wolverines switched kickers and missed a third field goal try.

The Badgers evened the score in the 3rd quarter when quarterback Alex Hornibrook hit Dare Ogunbowale with a 17-yard touchdown pass.

The Badgers then had chances with the  ball to take the lead but couldn’t get it done.

Michigan finally scored the go-ahead touchdown when quarterback Wilton Speight hit wide receiver Amara Darboh from 46 yards out.

The Badgers finished with just 71 rushing yards and a season-low 159 total yards.  Alex Hornibrook struggled, finishing 9 of 25 for just 88 yards with a touchdown pass and three interceptions.

The Badgers converted just 4 of 15 third-down opportunities and lost for the first time this season.

Wisconsin’s defense played very well, but they were on the field for a long time and got little help from the Wisconsin offense.

The Badgers (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) will get a week off before hosting second-ranked Ohio State (4-0, 1-0) on October 15 at Camp Randall Stadium.
