Wisconsin vs. Akron recap

With a few injuries leaving Travis Beckum and Jonathan Casillas on the sidelines for this game the Badgers still managed to make this one a laugher.

Wisconsin jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter on a nine play, 67 yard drive that ended on a Garrett Graham 3-yard touchdown catch from QB Allan Evridge. The Badgers continued to pound the ball down the throats of the Zips defenders and were quickly out to a 17-0 lead to start the 2nd quarter.

A few turnovers and defensive lapses later the Zips cut the lead 17-10 going into half.

Wisconsin one again scored 2 quick touchdowns to start the second half and were up 31-10 with 6 minutes left in the third quarter.

After an Akron fumble redshirt freshman John Clay found the end zone for his first collegiate touchdown with 12 minutes to go left in the game.

Final score: Wisconsin 38-Akron 17 (without a fumble from 2nd string QB Dustin Sherer with 3 minutes to go in the game the score would have ended 38-10 which was the score I predicted)

The defense looked a little shaky at times but all in all it was a good opener for the Badgers.
