That turned into a short field, and, eventually, a touchdown run by Heinrich Haarberg.Wisconsin answered with a touchdown drive, but the Badgers struggled offensively the rest of the half, adding just one field goal.

The Badgers, playing under interim leadership at offensive coordinator after the firing of Phil Longo, may find the jolt they need to get back on track. With bowl eligibility on the line, this feels like a prime opportunity for Wisconsin football to lean on its defense, establish its ground game, and capitalize on Nebraska’s inability to close.
