Wisconsin Edges Washington 13-10 in Low-Scoring Defensive Struggle
Wisconsin defeated Washington 13-10 in Week 11, a defensive battle that saw both teams struggle to generate offensive momentum. The Badgers scored all 13 points in the second and third quarters—a field goal in Q2 followed by a 10-point third quarter—while Washington managed all 10 of its points in the second quarter.
The game featured six lead changes and significant swings in win probability, with Wisconsin's advantage peaking at 100 percent before Washington mounted late pressure. The Badgers covered the 10.5-point spread despite a sluggish offensive performance, with rushing leader Gideon Ituka gaining 73 yards and Carter Smith completing 8 passes.
Washington's offense was led by receiver Denzel Boston with 62 receiving yards. The teams combined for just 23 points, well under the 44.5 over-under, reflecting the defensive dominance throughout. Key plays included turnovers on downs, an interception in the end zone, and several strong defensive stops that limited both offenses' ability to sustain drives.
