Badgers Open Season In Style


The Wisconsin Badgers opened the 2011 NCAA season with a 51-17 routing of the UNLV Rebels on Thursday night.

The Badgers overpowered the Rebels in all facets of the game, accumulating 499 yards from scrimmage while limiting UNLV to less than 300 yards of offense.

Transfer quarterback Russell Wilson made the most of his Badger debut, completing 10 of 13 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and rushing for 62 yards and a touchdown.

The running back tandem of Montee Ball and James White was stellar as well, as Ball rushed for 63 yards and three touchdowns and White ran for 64 yards and a score. Ball also caught 2 passes, one for a touchdown.

The Badgers play Oregon State next Saturday.
