The Wisconsin Badgers lost quarterback Joel Stave late in the first quarter Saturday on the road at the Illinois Fighting Illini, but a strong showing out of the defense and a steady performance out of backup quarterback Bart Houston helped Wisconsin earn its third Big Ten win of the season, a 24-13 victory over Illinois.
A 26 yard field goal by Rafael Gaglianone with 7:03 remaining in the half set the half time score in Wisconsin’s favor, 10-7. Freshman Ke’Shawn Vaughn is getting the bulk of the carries. Houston was intercepted again shortly thereafter, with Clayton Fejedelem coming down with a pick in the end zone.
Coach Paul Chryst wasn’t sure about Clement’s availability against the Illini and added: “He’s not a magic potion, either, ‘Corey’s back, all things are cured'”. Erickson – who is listed as a wide receiver – led the Badgers on the ground with 81 yards on four carries.
Houston finished the game 22/33 for 232 yards with two touchdowns. As such, Houston, a junior, hasn’t seen much playing time in his tenure. Entering Week 8, he’d completed a career seven passes for 63 yards and two touchdowns, mostly in games that were already decided.
The Badgers will head back home next weekend for a matchup against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-3) on Halloween night in Madison, Wisconsin. The Badgers would go on to lose center Dan Voltz – who has been dealing with injuries the past few weeks – as well as receiver Robert Wheelwright, but Houston and the offense did enough to emerge Illinois with a win.
Badgers’ senior safety Michael Caputo picked off Lunt for his second interception on the season. Illinois Fighting Illini rank at 48 for scoring 34.3 points where as Wisconsin Badgers rank at 4 for allowing 9.5 scores. Wisconsin Badgers recorded 219.8 passing yards and 188.3 rushing yards while allowed 209.5 passing yards and 82.8 russhing yards with turnover differential of -0.8.
Fighting Illini safety Clayton Fejedelem had a monster day for Illinois, helping keep the game closer than it maybe should have been.
