The boo birds were out in force, in the Wisconsin Badgers 3rd game of the season as the Badgers barely beat Utah State, 16-14. The only reason why the Badgers won is that Utah State missed a short field at the end of the game.
The Badgers barely beat Northern Iowa in the first game of the season, got their butts kicked by Oregon State last week and then barely beat the Aggies at Camp Randall tonight.
From the Wisconsin State Journal: After making the shocking move of firing offensive line coach Mike
Markuson after only two games and replacing him with graduate assistant
Bart Miller, University of Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema had
another dramatic move up his sleeve at halftime on Saturday night
against Utah State.
After watching his team get booed off the
field by the Camp Randall Stadium crowd following a miserable first
half, Bielema benched junior transfer quarterback Danny O'Brien in favor
of redshirt freshman Joel Stave, who was appearing in his first game.
But
it wasn't the quarterback switch that sparked the Badgers as much as
sophomore Kenzel Doe, whose return for a touchdown in the third quarter
heped UW (2-1) survive a traumatic week and escape with a 16-14 victory
over the Aggies (2-1).
"It's been a difficult week," Bielema said.
"We try to make it as positive as we can. I just told the group, I knew
it wasn't going to change overnight. It's some things we've got to get
straight and get correct. We can't beat ourselves with pre-snap
penalties or the holding calls."
The Badgers had a ragged first
half that included four illegal motion penalties. The defense allowed
two touchdowns, one on a wheel route on a 39-yard pass to running back
Kerwynn Williams in the first quarter to give the Aggies a 7-0 lead.
