The Badgers played 7 games at Camp Randall this year. The team gave up 4 touchdowns. One was a pick-6. The other drives were short fields after interceptions. The cumulative yardage the Wisconsin defense gave up on touchdown drives is 79 yards. That's pretty incredible.

Iowa: 5 plays, 31 yards (Beathard 1 yard pass)

Wisconsin turned the ball over at their own 31after just 1:15 of possession. Iowa’s previous drive lasted 5:14 and ended with a missed FG.


Purdue: 9 plays, 29 yards (Blough 2 yard run)

Wisconsin was driving (at PU’s 16) when they turned the ball over. That interception return took Purdue all the way to the Wisconsin 29.


Rutgers: 0 plays ( Austin 50 yard pick 6)

Defense had nothing to do with this one.


Northwestern: 3 plays, 19 yards (Justin 8 yard run)

Wisconsin turned the ball over on third down on their own 16. Northwestern's previous drive, Wisconsin’s defense allowed 2 yards on 3 plays to force a NU punt, despite the drive starting in Wisconsin territory thanks to a terrible UW Punt.
