• The Badgers played in their first overtime game since defeating Auburn, 34-31, in OT in the 2014 Holiday Bowl. The last overtime game at Camp Randall came in a 21-14 loss to Ohio State on Nov. 17, 2012.Â
• Including Saturday's 30-23 loss to Ohio State, each of Wisconsin's last 13 regular-season Big Ten losses have come by 7 or fewer points. That streak dates back to a 34-24 loss at Michigan State in the 2010 season opener. The Badgers are 37-13 (.740) in conference play over that span.Â

• The Badgers balanced 236 yards rushing with 214 yards passing, the second time this season UW has had a 200-200 day (also vs. Akron). The last time Wisconsin had at least 200 yards rushing and passing was against Rutgers on Oct. 31, 2015 (209 yards rushing and 217 yards passing).
• The Badgers were the first team in the country this year to score a rushing touchdown against Ohio State. The Buckeyes entered the game as the only team in the NCAA to not have allowed a touchdown on the ground.Â
