The No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers (4-0) upset the No. 8 Michigan State Spartans (2-1) on Saturday afternoon in East Lansing.
Wisconsin’s defense swarmed and overwhelmed the Spartans’ offense, forcing four turnovers that contributed to 13 UW points and also recording four sacks. Michigan State converted only 4-of-13 third-down conversions.
Redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook, in his first career start, completed 16 of 26 passes for 195 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Many current and former Badgers took to Twitter with their impressive play:
