Here’s your 2024 Wisconsin Badgers schedule and scores
Here’s your 2024 Wisconsin Badgers schedule and scores. Homecoming is Saturday, October 26, against Penn State. The Badgers close out on November 29, against Minnesota.
After an uneven performance in its season opener that left fans uneasy, the Wisconsin Badgers football team seeks a better overall showing in Week 2 against South Dakota on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
It should be a get-right game for Luke Fickell’s squad in advance of its showdown with Alabama next week.
Both the Badgers and Coyotes are 1-0. Wisconsin used a strong fourth quarter to defeat Western Michigan, 28-14, and avoid the upset last week at home. South Dakota, which went 10-3 last season, dominated Northern State (South Dakota), 45-3, in Week 1.
While South Dakota is a Football Championship Subdivision team, it has plenty of experience playing above its weight. In the last three years the Coyotes played teams from Power 5 conferences (Kansas in the Big 12, Kansas State in the Big 12 and Missouri in the SEC).
Will Wisconsin go to 2-0 and finish drives with touchdowns in the red zone, something it struggled to do last week?

South Dakota continued the positive momentum it had on its previous possession.
It ended with a field goal for its first points of the game.
The Coyotes used a long 11-play, 57-yard drive that featured a mix of big running and passing plays.
On the drive’s second play, Aidan Bouman connected with JJ Galbreath for 24 yards to the Wisconsin 38-yard line. Later, Travis Theis ran for 17 yards on a third down to get to the Wisconsin 11-yard line.
South Dakota can’t finish the drive with a TD and brings on the field goal unit to get on the board with an easy chip shot.
Drive: 11 plays 57 yards, 5:48 (25-yard field goal)
Score: Wisconsin 14, South Dakota 3 (with 7:14 left in second quarter)
Chez Mellusi’s 5-yard loss set the Badgers back after a first down early in the second quarter.
The Badgers have to punt for a second time but they at least get some breathing room away from their own end zone.
That was the kind of first quarter that Luke Fickell, Phil Longo and the coaches drew up.
The Badgers take a 14-0 lead into the second quarter. Explosive plays were the theme of the first 15 minutes. The Badgers already have passing plays of 50 yards, 32 yards and 22 yards. Van Dyke was 4 of 6 for 113 yards and a touchdown.
Wisconsin is also getting positive runs from Chez Mellusi (26 yards) and Cade Yachamelli (19 yards).
South Dakota gets into Wisconsin territory for the first time after a couple first downs. But the Badgers defense stands tall and forces a punt.
The punt was a beauty as it’s down to the 5-yard line with 42 seconds left.
The Wisconsin Badgers are having fun out there.
After two runs by Chez Mellusi to set up a 3rd and 2 from the 50-yard line, quarterback Tyler Van Dyke executed a beautiful run-pass-option and found a wide open CJ Williams down field. Williams was untouched as he raced into the end zone. It was Van Dyke’s first passing touchdown of his career with the Badgers. The fifth-year senior transferred from Miami in the offseason.
The Badgers didn’t put up any points in the first quarter against Western Michigan last week. They changed that with two touchdowns in their first three possessions. Whereas Wisconsin had long and methodical drives in the Week 1 game, they’re hunting for quick scores today.
Drive: 3 plays, 58 yards, 1:23, 50-yard touchdown pass
Score: Wisconsin 14, South Dakota 0 (with 4:48 left in the first quarter)
One thing is clear in this game: The Badgers are letting it loose.
On Wisconsin’s second possession Van Dyke went deep on a flea flicker. The throw was incomplete but the tone is set.
With backup running back Tawee Walker apparently out today, Cade Yacamelli got all the runs on this drive. He had three runs that totaled 17 yards, including an 11-yard first down run.
The Badgers look like they have more energy in this game than last week and offensive flow.
South Dakota gets one big play on their opening drive – Aidan Bouman completed a 25-yard pass to Travis Theis – but then the drive stalled.
The Badgers offense will look for more explosive plays early in this one.
The Wisconsin Badgers strike first with an impressive opening scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead. Chez Mellusi capped it off with a 9-yard TD run standing up.
The Badgers actually started it with a fumble by Chez Mellusi but he quickly recovered it. After that brief scare, Tyler Van Dyke fired away.
On second and 2, Van Dyke rolled out to his right and delivered a perfect pass on the run to Vinny Anthony for 32 yards along the sideline. It was the longest play of the season.
Two plays later and facign a 3rd and 7 from the South Dakota 32-yard line, Van Dyke connected with Bryson Green for 22 yards on a cross route. After a 1-yard run by Mellusi, he then ran it in from 9 yards for the game’s first score.
Drive: 7 plays, 75 yards, 2:46, 9-yard touchdown run
Score: Wisconsin 7, South Dakota 0
It’s a cool 62 degrees with an 8 mph wind.

In the new-look Big Ten, the 18 teams went 17-1 last week to begin the season with Minnesota suffering the only defeat. How is Week 2 treating the Big Ten teams? Not as great.
Northwestern opened the week on Friday with a loss to Duke. And in a battle of top 10 teams on Saturday, the reigning national champion Michigan Wolverines are getting blown out at home by Texas. It’s not a shocker that they’re necessary losing but score qualifies as a stunner. Texas entered the fourth quarter with a 31-6 lead. Michigan hasn’t lost since the 2022 season.
Iowa against in-state rival, Iowa State, and Colorado vs Nebraska are a couple of the other featured non-conference matchups involving Big Ten teams on Saturday. While the Badgers won’t begin their Big Ten season for three weeks, Michigan State vs Maryland open conference play on Saturday afternoon.
