NCAAF Updated game-by-game win percentages for Wisconsin football after its loss to Washington State
The Wisconsin Badgers fell to 1-1 on the season with a 31-22 loss to Washington State on Saturday.
The game somewhat mirrored the loss to the Cougars last season, as the Badgers were likely the better team on the field yet struggled with mistakes, turnovers and an overall lack of consistency.
The loss pumps the breaks on what the team can accomplish this season. While the team is 0-0 in Big Ten play, it’s clear improvement is needed before they’re again considered favorites to win the Big Ten West.
