Overview

• Wisconsin’s first three series went blocked field goal, interception by Danny O’Neil and blocked punt, setting up short fields that Maryland converted into touchdowns.
• A botched trick-play snap in Terrapins territory resulted in a 23-yard loss and killed a promising drive late in the half.
• Maryland controlled the trenches with three first-half sacks and five tackles for loss while holding the Badgers to roughly 1.5 yards per carry.
• Camp Randall erupted in boos with “Fire Fickell” chants as coaches and players left for halftime, reflecting visible frustration in the stadium.
• It marked a second straight scoreless first half for Wisconsin after last week’s blowout at Alabama despite pregame odds installing the Badgers as about 10-point favorites.
