Wisconsin Dominates Western Illinois Behind Strong First Quarter
Wisconsin dominated Western Illinois 36-9 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. The Badgers controlled the game from the start, scoring 17 points in the first quarter and never relinquishing their lead. Wisconsin's defense set the tone early, highlighted by a defensive stand that resulted in a blocked punt return for a touchdown by Carson Van Dinter. The Badgers' offensive firepower was on full display, with A. Sama III recording a 72-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter.
Tyrell Henry led Wisconsin's receiving corps with 91 yards, hauling in a pair of key completions from C. Joseph, including a 51-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Western Illinois managed only 9 points, with Kennedy McGill leading the Leathernecks' ground game with 88 rushing yards. The visitors were held scoreless in the fourth quarter. Wisconsin's balanced offensive attack and stout defense overwhelmed an outmatched Western Illinois team in what turned out to be a one-sided affair at Camp Randall.
