The Wisconsin Badgers get a huge play from their defense by scoring a 63-yard touchdown on a fumble recovery against the Michigan State Spartans.
The No. 8 Michigan State Spartans welcomed the No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers to a huge Week 4 showdown for the Big Ten on Saturday. These are surely two of the best four teams in the Big Ten and the winner of this game would look really promising inside the AP Top 25 Poll for Week 5.
Already up 13-6 in the third quarter, the Badgers force a fumble on Michigan State running back L.J. Scott. Wisconsin’s Leo Musso would pick up the Scott fumble and take it to the house to put the Badgers up 20-6 after the made PAT.
Wisconsin already has a big win on the year over the SEC’s LSU Tigers. This catapulted the Badgers into the AP Top 25 in Week 2. Though many feel that Michigan State isn’t going to win the Big Ten East this year over the likes of the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Spartans have been a top-five program for the last half decade.

The Badgers are still very much a work-in-progress on offense for head coach Paul Chryst, but the Wisconsin defense is proving that it is a legit one week after week. The Nebraska Cornhuskers look very good in the early part of the 2016 college football season, but one has to think that the Badgers are the team to beat in the Big Ten West.

A huge win over the Spartans in East Lansing has to make the college football world take notice of the 2016 Badgers. Wisconsin may struggle against offensive juggernauts like Michigan and Ohio State, but have shown that it can beat any team in the country in a low-scoring affair on fall Saturdays.
