Wisconsin looks to trip up No. 5 LSU and Leonard Fournette

“Brett Favre, he’s been the guy, I feel like, that’s the face of at least my era since I was a little kid”, LSU offensive lineman Will Clapp said.

“That’s where Aaron Rodgers is at man, Brett Favre, that’s the goats”, LSU running back Leonard Fournette said. And on defense, Wisconsin will have to effectively handle LSU tailback Leonard Fournette, who many believe is the best back in all of college football.

Badger kicker Gaglianone hit a 47-yard field goal. Since LSU lost at Ohio State in 1988, the Big Ten and SEC have met 94 times, with 80 of the games played in states now in the SEC footprint. The kind that could give UW a boost going into a season notable for a brutal schedule and dire predictions. But Wisconsin led just 6-0 at halftime after squandering early scoring chances, including a stop on fourth-and-1 from the LSU 23. LSU would then take the donations back to Louisiana.

Entering the 2016 season, Badgers quarterback Bart Houston has only played 15 games in his three-year career in Madison. Three plays into Wisconsin’s next drive, wideout George Rushing was stripped and White pounced on the loose ball.

That’s not to say that it’s going to be a walk in the park for Fournette, quarterback Brandon Harris, and wide receivers Malachi Dupre and Travin Dural.

The Badgers will have to play a complete game on both sides of the ball. In receiving, Troy Fumagalli (313 yards and a TD) and Robert Wheelwright (416 yards and 4 TDs) are set to return as the primary receivers of Wisconsin. After a 3 and out by the offense, Wisconsin drove right down the field capped off by a 5-yard Corey Clement run who had a big series running the ball. This game was no different. What little pass rush LSU had on the day was provided by the sophomore outside linebacker. Les Miles almost lost his job after a disappointing 2015 season, and now he is sure to be right back on the hot seat like he never left it.
