Wisconsin escaped a scare yesterday with a 35-14 win over Georgia Southern.
The final score doesn’t tell the story of how sloppy and uninspiring the performance was, at least for the first three quarters. The game was tied 7-7 at halftime despite three Georgia Southern interceptions, the Eagles then led 14-7 early in the third quarter before the Badgers got the ground game going and ran to a 21-point win.
It was not the cakewalk many expected entering the day. But the Badgers improved to 2-1 entering a Friday night contest against a struggling 1-2 Purdue team.
Before we turn the page to previewing next weekend’s game, here are some game balls from Wisconsin’s win:

Stat Line: 33/52 passing, 383 yards, one touchdown, five interceptions
It was a forgettable day under center for Eagles QB Davis Brin. Despite a 383-yard performance, he threw five interceptions to Wisconsin defenders and ensured the game would move out of reach in the second half.
The Badgers were tied with the Eagles 7-7 at halftime and trailed 14-7 early in the third quarter. Wisconsin would’ve faced a larger deficit at that point had Brin not thrown three first-half interceptions. And then the two second-half INTs allowed the Badgers to pull away and escape with a win.
Often these game balls are for players on the Wisconsin side of the ball. In this case its hard to ignore a five-turnover day from the opposing QB.
