FINAL: INDIANA 20, WISCONSIN 14
1:10 left in 4Q: FIELD GOAL INDIANA
Chris Freeman hits from 50 yards out on a risky call from Tom Allen. Badgers are out of timeouts. Indiana 20, Wisconsin 14.
4:07 left in 4Q: Wisconsin once again says no to a field goal
Badgers go for it on 4th-and-2 instead of trying a 49-yard field goal to tie. Braedyn Locke's pass sails high and it's a turnover on downs, IU ball. Indiana 17, Wisconsin 14.
7:13 left in 4Q: IU's offense goes reaaaaaaally vanilla
Hoosiers have just 14 yards of offense in the second half. There's conservative, and then there's whatever this is. Badgers ball 1st-and-10 at their own 40. Indiana 17, Wisconsin 14.
11:27 left in 4Q: FUMBLE WISCONSIN
Wisconsin's Cade Yacamelliis stripped of the ball fighting for first-down yardage and the Hoosiers clearly recover it. Original call was that play was whistled dead before the fumble. A huge review for the Hoosiers. After review, IU ball at Wisconsin's 44-yard line. Indiana 17, Wisconsin 14.
13:20 left in 4Q: Aaron Casey sack stops Badgers
On 3rd-and-15 from IU's 23, Aaron Casey blitzes and sacks Braedyn Locke to force a 4th-and-25 from the 33-yard line. Wisconsin takes a delay of game and will punt rather than try a 50-yard field goal to tie. Indiana 17, Wisconsin 14.
END 3Q: Indiana 17, Wisconsin 14
Badgers are driving. 1st-and-10 at IU's 18-yard line.
4:51 left in 3Q: Badgers force an IU punt
A third-down sack pushes the Hoosiers out of field goal range and they're forced to punt it back to Wisconsin. Badgers can take the lead on this drive... which is weird considering it's felt like IU has had this game in control. Indiana 17, Wisconsin 14.
10:14 left in 3Q: TOUCHDOWN WISCONSIN
A roughing the passer penalty extends the Badgers drive and Braedyn Locke hits Will Pauling for an 18-yard touchdown. Once again, self-inflicted wounds hurting the Hoosiers. Indiana 17, Wisconsin 14.
HALFTIME: Indiana 17, Wisconsin 7
0:41 left in 2Q: TOUCHDOWN INDIANA
The Donaven McCulley Drive. The former Lawrence North star QB caught a short pass, somehow stayed up (on top of a defender) and ran for a 32-yard gain. Then, McCulley shows off with a one-handed grab in the end zone for a much-needed score for the Hoosiers. Indiana 17, Wisconsin 7.
4:11 left in 2Q: TOUCHDOWN WISCONSIN
IU brings pressure and Braedyn Locke hits Bryson Green, who gets a half-hearted push from an IU defender rather than a tackle attempt, and Green races 54 yards for a score. Badgers had done really nothing on offense until that mistake. Indiana 10, Wisconsin 7.
8:08 left in 2Q: FIELD GOAL INDIANA
Brendan Sorsby nearly connects with Donaven McCulley in the end zone, but the pass is a little high and off the receiver's fingertips. Hoosiers settle for a 27-yard field goal from Chris Freeman. Indiana 10, Wisconsin 0.
11:20 left 2Q: IU defense stepping up
That's three straight punts, two from Wisconsin, one from IU. Hoosiers defense having its way with the undermanned Badgers offense. A short punt gives the Hoosiers the ball at Wisconsin's 42-yard line. Indiana 7, Wisconsin 0.
END 1Q: Indiana 7, Wisconsin 0
1:53 left in 1Q: IU misses field goal
Chris Freeman's 43-yard field goal attempt is pushed wide and the Hoosiers' second drive comes up empty. It would have been a season-long for the former Zionsville kicker. Indiana 7, Wisconsin 0.
7:41 left in 1Q: IU defense forces turnover on downs
Wisconsin is down its starting QB, top two running backs and more. Badgers go for it on 4th-and-3 at IU's 42-yard line, but Braedyn Locke's pass hits the turf harmlessly. IU ball. Indiana 7, Wisconsin 0.
9:59 left in 1Q: TOUCHDOWN INDIANA
A good kickoff return from Jaylin Lucas gets the drive started, and two third-down conversion completions (one to Omar Cooper, one to EJ Williams) keeps the drive alive. Brendan Sorsby finishes it off with an 8-yard rushing score. Really nice start for the Hoosiers. Indiana 7, Wisconsin 0.
Wisconsin RB Braelon Allen out vs. Indiana
Badgers leading rusher (754 yards this season) is in street clothes in Bloomington. Wide receiver Chimere Dike is also out.
Indiana-Wisconsin injury report
IU's starting QB Brendan Sorsby popped up on the questionable list. Sorsby looks like he's going to play, though. If Sorsby can't play, Tayven Jackson and Dexter Williams are next up on the depth chart.
