Badgers Win, But QB Struggles | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

Badgers edge out Western Illinois in a gritty win, but the offense looked shaky—quarterback Colton Joseph struggled with accuracy and lacked deep balls, while running backs Abu Sama and Darrion Dupree delivered explosive plays. Receivers had flashes, led by Tyrell Henry, but Malachi Coleman’s injury looms large. Defense shined with Cooper Catalano’s 13 tackles, though secondary lapses stood out. Special teams stole the show with two blocked punt TDs and clutch field goals from Gavin Lahm—proof the Badgers can win ugly, but they’ll need to fix their passing game if they want to compete at a higher level.
