Game ten:
|
September 24, 1994 The thud heard coming from the direction of the Rocky Mountains was the Badgers hitting reality after their 55-17 loss to Colorado last week. Following a Rose Bowl season, such results were neither expected nor welcome in Madison. The Hoosiers entered Camp Randall Stadium with rising expectations. But, apparently, Indiana had some travel difficulties on their road to Madison and arrived into town later than they anticipated. Even though they arrived in time for kickoff, the traveling woes continued for the Hoosiers on the offensive side of the ball. Indiana suffered "Can't we get a break?" syndrome which can attack suddenly and usually lasts four quarters. Indiana's case was serious as nothing continued to go their way. Wisconsin, on the other hand, made the memory of last week obselete as they accumulated a 41-0 halftime lead. Quarterback Darrell Bevell matched his number of completions with attempts while runningbacks Brent Moss and Terrell Fletcher buzzsawed through the Hoosier defense. The stadium grew louder and louder with each score and fans turned to one another with faces of disbelief that Wisconsin could manage such a blowout over a Big Ten opponent. The final tally read 62-13. Supposedly, they learned a few lessons from Colorado last week about how to properly thud an opponent. But, few Badger fans expected Wisconsin to apply them so quickly.
