Wisconsin vs. Indiana -- one for the record books!

Folks, I hope you had the VCR rolling on Saturday afternoon, because the Big Ten Network captured another classic! (Speaking of, thank the good Lord for the BTN! I can scarcely remember the bad old days when there was no Big Ten Network and these games simply wouldn't be televised!)

I am talking of course about Wisconsin vs. Indiana, and let me tell you this 33-3 thriller played out just how you'd imagine it! Indiana is not known for its defense, and its offensive firepower was on display. Future first-day draft pick Kellen Lewis piled up 113 yards of passing offense on 33 attempts en route to throwing only two interceptions. But it was Wisconsin QB Tyler Donovan who stole the show, lighting up the scoreboard with 144 yards and a solitary interception. But of course the ground game was what made the difference; the Badgers' P.J. Hill, the very model of what a tough physical Wisconsin tailback strives to be, piled up 57 yards before leaving the game with a bruise.

As a reward for their victory, Wisconsin takes on #1 Ohio State in Columbus at noon on -- you guessed it -- the Big Ten Network! Front and center for the third straight week!
