•    Wisconsin ran for 268 yards on 39 carries. The most rushing yards LSU allowed in a game last year was 216.

INDIVIDUAL NOTES
•    Junior RB Melvin Gordon ran for 138 yards on 17 carries and scored a touchdown. It was the 11th 100-yard rushing game of his career. In the Badgers’ last two games, both against SEC teams ranked in the top 15, Gordon has rushed for 281 yards on 42 carries, an average of 6.69 yards per rush.
•    Junior Tanner McEvoy made his first career start at quarterback. McEvoy played in 11 games last season with three starts at safety. McEvoy finished 8-of-24 for 50 yards and ran for 42 yards on six carries, including a 23-yard scamper in the first half.
•    Sophomore WR Reggie Love scored the Badgers’ first touchdown on a 45-yard run. It was his first career rushing attempt. He entered the game with just one career catch, for 19 yards. That catch came against Utah State (coached by Gary Andersen) on Sept. 15, 2012.
•    Freshman Rafael Gaglianone kicked a 51-yard field goal in the first quarter, the first field goal attempt of his UW career. That is tied for the eighth-longest made field goal in Wisconsin history and is the 16th field goal of 50+ yards in school history. The last field goal of at least 50 yards by a Badger was a 50-yarder by Philip Welch vs. Ohio State on Oct. 10, 2009.
•    Junior LB Joe Schobert recorded the first forced fumble of his career on a second-quarter tackle. Junior S Michael Caputo recovered the fumble, the first of his career. It set up Melvin Gordon’s 14-yard touchdown run.
•    Sophomore Corey Clement’s third quarter rushing touchdown was the eighth of his career. He ended the game with 15 carries for 46 yards.
•    Junior Jake Keefer recorded his first career sack as a Badger in the fourth quarter.
•    Freshman George Rushing, junior Austin Traylor, sophomore Arthur Goldberg and freshman Lubern Figaro made their first career starts.
