Badgers rout 13th-ranked Wolverines on Senior Day

by A. David Dahmer (Photos by Christine Nesheim) It was Senior Day at Camp Randall Stadium Nov. 10, which meant it was the last home game for a host of Badger football players. They went out in style, trouncing the previously undefeated (in Big-10 play) Michigan Wolverines, 37-21. One of those seniors was quarterback Tyler Donovan, who got sacked in the first quarter by the Wolverine defense (above) but eluded them for a second quarter touchdown (below). Donovan finished the day 14-of-27 for 245 yards and one touchdown through the air. He also ran for 49 yards and a touchdown. The Badgers' defense (below) had a few hiccups — mainly giving up a 97-yard touchdown pass on 3rd and 10 late in the third quarter, the longest touchdown reception in Michigan history — but they held the 13th-ranked Wolverines to 48 net yards rushing and limited the Michigan quarterbacks to just 14 pass completions in 41 attempts. Wisconsin, which is 8-3 overall, will fight the Minnesota Gophers for the Paul Bunyan Axe this coming weekend in Minneapolis in its regular season finale.
