2006 Wisconsin Badgers Season, Game Recaps, Scores and Reviews
Jan. 1
Capital One Bowl
Wisconsin 17 ... Arkansas 14
Wisconsin was outgained 232 yards to -5 on the ground, but got
a big first half out of QB John Stocco, who connected with Paul Hubbard for a
22-yard touchdown and Travis Beckum for a 13-yard score. Taylor Mehlhaff hit a
Capital Bowl record 52-yard field goal for all the points the Badgers would
need, but it was close. Penalties (12 for 123 yards) and missed opportunities
were the problem for Arkansas in the second half as it hung around with a
12-yard Felix Jones touchdown run early in the fourth. Jones tore off a 76-yard
touchdown in the first quarter on the first play after the Mehlhaff field goal
and finished with 150 yards on just 14 carries. Player of the game ...
Wisconsin LB Mark
Zalewski made nine tackles, a tackles for loss and an interception. Stat Leaders: Arkansas - Passing: Casey Dick, 9-21, 98

Rushing: P.J. Hill, 19-36 Receiving: Travis Beckum, 5-82, 1 TD Notes & Thoughts ...
How did Wisconsin win this game? If you had said before
the game that the Badgers would finish with -5 rushing yards, Arkansas would've
thought it'd win by 50. ... The Hogs were as creative as possible with the
running game, but there wasn't any consistency with the passing attack with
Casey Dick, Mitch Mustain, and Darren McFadden each getting work. Mustain was
good enough to show he should be the main man going into 2007. He's too good to
not develop. ... Wisconsin was more than able to handle the Arkansas overall
speed, but there's no answer anywhere for Felix Jones and McFadden when they get
on the outside. These two are so amazing that if they get any sort of room,
they're gone. ... Jamaal Anderson destroyed the Wisconsin O line. Joe Thomas was
fine, but it was an awful performance by the front five. They couldn't handle
the five-man Hog defensive front.
Nov. 18
Wisconsin 35 ... Buffalo 3
Wisconsin overcame a sluggish start with several missed
opportunities to blow past the Bulls with 28 unanswered points after a 34-yard
Adam Tanalski field goal to pull UB within four in the first quarter. Tyler
Donovan threw touchdown passes to Paul Hubbard and Luke Swan, and P.J. Hill,
Lance Smith and Dywon Rowan each ran for short scores. The defense forced four
turnovers and held the Bulls to just 16 first downs and 159 yards of total
offense. Player of the game ...
Wisconsin QB
Tyler Donovan was 16-of-26 for 308 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Stat Leaders: Buffalo- Passing: Tony Paoli, 6-of-23, 107
yds, 1 INT Rushing: James Starks, 15-31 Receiving: Naaman Roosevelt, 2-90 Wisconsin- Passing: Tyler Donovan, 16-26, 308 yds, 2 TDs, 1
INT
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 19-86, 1 TD Receiving: Travis Beckum, 5-135 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... Fine, so
Wisconsin didn't beat anyone with a pulse this season, with the possible
exception of Penn State, but 11 wins in the best regular season in team history
is still an impressive first go-around for new head coach Bret Bielema. Tyler
Donovan got some great work in over the last two games, with a solid performance
against Buffalo, to give hope that the offense will be in good hands next year.
All the top players are coming back offensively, with the one notable exception
being OT Joe Thomas, so the next month-and-a-half should do wonders to get the
hype going for next year.
Nov. 11
Wisconsin 24 ... Iowa 21
Wisconsin's Tyler Donovan filled in for an injured John Stocco
and threw a thee-yard touchdown pass to Travis Beckum and a 42-yard
jump ball for a touchdown to Luke Swan for a 17-14 first half lead,
but it was a 97-yard drive in the fourth quarter culminating in a
one-yard P.J. Hill scoring run to get the points needed to put it
away. Iowa had its chances pulling within three on a 24-yard Trey
Stross touchdown catch, but two late drives stalled on dropped
passes on fourth down. Drew Tate threw three touchdowns passes
including two short scoring throws in the second quarter. Player of the game ... Wisconsin QB Tyler Donovan
completed 17 of 24 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns Stat Leaders: Iowa- Passing: Drew Tate,
10-31, 170 yds, 3 TD, 1 INT Rushing: Damien Sims, 7-53. Receiving:
Andy Brodell, 2-18 Wisconsin - Passing: Tyler Donovan,
17-24, 228 yds, 2 TD
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 28-77, 1 TD. Receiving: Travis Beckum,
8-70, 1 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... Sometimes
you have to find ways to win when you don't have your best game.
Against Iowa, the Badger offensive line couldn't handle defensive
tackle Mitch King and the defense had way too many breakdowns, but a
little luck from dropped Hawkeye passes and a smart performance from
backup QB Tyler Donovan got the Badgers to ten wins with a layup
against Buffalo to finish up the regular season. This was a better
win than it'll get credit for. Remember, this was Senior Day at Iowa
and Drew Tate's last game.
Nov. 4
Wisconsin 13 ... Penn State 3
Wisconsin's defense held Penn State to 201 yards of total
offense and only 36 rushing yards while giving up just a 39-yard
Kevin Kelly field goal in the second quarter. The Badger offense
rumbled with the running and short passing game controlling things
from the start. Two Taylor Mehlhaff field goals and a 14-yard Paul
Hubbard touchdown catch were all the Badgers would need. Joe Paterno
got knocked out of the game when he was rolled up on the sidelines. Player of the game ... Wisconsin RB P.J. Hill ran 31
times for 148 yards Stat Leaders: Penn State- Passing:
Anthony Morelli, 19-35, 165 yds, 1 INT Rushing: Tony Hunt, 11-35. Receiving:
Andrew Quarless, 5-62 Wisconsin - Passing: John Stocco, 15-25,
172 yds, 1 TD
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 31-148. Receiving: Travis Beckum,
6-39 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... The
Badger defense was unbelievable against Penn State. It got
consistent pressure on Anthony Morelli, and swarmed all over Tony
Hunt all game long. Even better was the play of the offensive line
in the running game allowing P.J. Hill to pound the ball over and
over again up the middle. On the down side, there were a few too
many free shots on QB John Stocco getting him knocked out with a
shoulder problem. As long as UW's D can hold Iowa to 1.9 yards per
carry like it did against Penn State, it'll beat Iowa next week no
matter who's at quarterback.
Oct. 28
Wisconsin 30 ... Illinois 24
Wisconsin got down 21-3 after Pierre Thomas ran for two scores
and Trayon Bellamy picked off a John Stocco pass for a 41-yard
score. The Badger offense showed a spark of life late in the first
half with an 11-play, 76-yard drive capped off by a one-yard Lance
Smith scoring run, and then owned the second half outscoring the
Illini 20-0. With P.J. Hill out with a neck injury, Stocco took over
throwing two touchdown passes and Taylor Mehlhaff hit two of his
three field goals in the second half. Illinois had two late chances,
but couldn't get their drives within scoring range. Player of the game ... Wisconsin QB John Stocco
completed 15 of 26 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns with an
interception Stat Leaders: Illinois- Passing: Isaiah
Williams, 13-29, 17 y ds, 1 TD, 1 INT Rushing: Isaiah Williams, 19-53. Receiving:
Jeff Cumberland, 4-41 Wisconsin - Passing: John Stocco, 15-26,
217, 2 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 12-50. Receiving: Travis Beckum,
5-76 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... It took
the offense a little while to wake up against Illinois, and then the
line started to give John Stocco time and the game quickly turned
around. However, the line didn't get the running game going in the
final few minutes and allowed Illinois to get a few late chances to
pull out the upset. The defense had a hard time dealing with the
mobility of Juice Williams early on, but tightened up late. The key
will be P.J. Hill's health; this is a different team with him in the
game.
Oct. 21
Wisconsin 24 ... Purdue 3
Wisconsin was down 3-0 after a Chris Summers 47-yard field
goal, but P.J. Hill and the Badger rushing game took over. Hill
scored on runs of one to three yards, and set up an eight-yard Lance
Smith scoring run with a 46-yard dash. Purdue was never able to get
its offense on track gaining 286 yards with its best drive of the
day stalling in the fourth quarter after Curtis Painter misfired
deep in Badger territory. John Stocco threw for 201 yards for the
Badgers. Player of the game ... Wisconsin RB P.J. Hill ran 29
times for 161 yards and two touchdowns Stat Leaders: Purdue- Passing: Curtis
Painter, 20-40, 187 yds Rushing: Kory Sheets, 10-57. Receiving:
Greg Orton, 6-83 Wisconsin - Passing: John Stocco,
13-21, 201 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 25-164, 2 TD. Receiving: Paul
Hubbard, 4-80 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... The
Badgers have to be seen as the real deal after keeping the
high-octane Purdue offense under wraps. The secondary, untested all
season long, held firm keeping Curtis Painter and the Boilermaker
passing game from effectively producing. With the defense playing so
well, the coaching staff was able to take a few chances on offense.
P.J. Hill was P.J. Hill, and John Stocco did a nice job of not
forcing anything and completing his midrange to deep throws. 11-1 is
still an achievable dream if the team continues to improve like it
has over the last three weeks.
Oct. 14
Wisconsin 48 ... Minnesota 12
Wisconsin made it a laugher early on with a Jack Ikegwuonu
return of an Amir Pinnix fumble for a touchdown, a P.J. Hill five-yard touchdown
run after tearing off a big run on a fourth and inches, and two John Stocco
touchdown passes for a 28-3 first half lead. Stocco connected with Travis Beckum
for a 50-yard score on the second play of the second half to kill any hope of a
Minnesota comeback. Minnesota's main highlight came after a Hill two-yard
touchdown run with Mario Reese taking the extra point 100 yards for two points. Player of the game ... Wisconsin RB P.J. Hill ran 25
times for 164 yards and two touchdowns Stat Leaders: Minnesota- Passing: Bryan
Cupito, 8-19, 69 yds Rushing: Amir Pinnix, 13-83. Receiving:
Matt Spaeth, 3-34 Wisconsin - Passing: John Stocco,
9-16, 164 yds, 3 TD
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 25-164, 2 TD. Receiving: Travis
Beckum, 4-113, 1 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... Slowly,
the passing game has started to thrive with Travis Beckum becoming a reliable
go-to target and John Stocco getting more and more comfortable with his
receivers. The offensive line dominated Minnesota early on giving P.J. Hill good
holes to run through, but Hill made plenty of big plays on his own. As long as
the offense remains balances and effective on third downs, and as long as the
run defense keeps swarming around the ball like it did against the Gophers, the
Badgers have a legitimate shot of winning out.
Oct. 7
Wisconsin 41 ... Northwestern 9
Wisconsin RB P.J. Hill rumbled for 249 yards highlighted by a
60-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Northwestern pulled
within one in the first half on a field goal and a one-yard Andrew
Brewer touchdown run, but the extra point failed and the game never
was close after. John Stocco threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Luke
Swan, Dywon Rowan ran for a four-yard score, and Joe Stellmacher
picked off a pass for a touchdown as part of a 31-point Badger run
to close things out. Player of the game ... Wisconsin RB P.J. Hill ran 35
times for 249 yards and a touchdown Stat Leaders: Northwestern- Passing:
Andrew Brewer, 10-24, 94 yds, 1 INT Rushing: Andrew Brewer, 13-80, 1 TD. Receiving:
Eric Peterman, 3-26 Wisconsin - Passing: John Stocco, 16-21,
220 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 35-249, 1 TD. Receiving: Travis
Beckum, 8-107 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... The
Badgers had the Northwestern game in hand midway through the second
quarter when the defense turned up the pressure and everything on
offense started to click. P.J. Hill once again had a fantastic game
showing off his breakaway speed along with his power against the
beleaguered NU front, and John Stocco had a steady, nearly
mistake-free game helping the Badgers crank out 527 yards of total
offense. The offense did what it was supposed to do over the last
few weeks against awful teams, and now it'll have to keep things
going against a Minnesota team looking to get over the tough loss to
Penn State.
Sept. 30
Wisconsin 52 ... Indiana 17
Wisconsin had no problems doing whatever it wanted against the
Indiana D as John Stocco threw three touchdown passes and P.J. Hill
rumbled for three one-yard scores on the way to a 52-0 lead after
three quarters. IU was able to cosmetically make the score look a
bit better with a 15-yard fumble return for a score from Troy
Grosfield and an eight-yard scoring run from Josiah Sears, but the
damage had already been done. Stocco threw a 35-yard touchdown pass
to Travis Beckum late in the first quarter, and connected with Paul
Hubbard and Andy Crooks early in the second to open up the
floodgates. Player of the game ... Wisconsin QB John Stocco
completed 15 of 17 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns Stat Leaders: Indiana- Passing: Kellen
Lewis, 13-29, 113 yds Rushing: Josiah Sears, 9-105, 1 TD. Receiving:
Nick Polk, 4-45 Wisconsin - Passing: John Stocco, 15-17,
304 yds, 3 TD
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 23-129, 3 TD. Receiving: Paul
Hubbard, 6-122, 1 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... For the
first time all season long, John Stocco looked perfectly in sync
with the receivers as Paul Hubbard, a superior athlete, finally got
involved in the attack beating Indiana with no problems. Stocco got
time to work, was comfortable, and bombed away deep averaging 14.3
yards per pass. P.J. Hill ran well helped by a great day from
the offensive line taking advantage of every chance to put up
points. To nitpick, there were too many penalties committing ten for
93 yards.
Sept. 23
Michigan 27 ... Wisconsin 13
Michigan took advantage of Wisconsin special teams errors in
the first half for ten points highlighted by a 24-yard touchdown catch from
Mario Manningham, and then put the game away in the second half on a 38-yard
Manningham touchdown grab and a five-yard Mike Hart scoring run. Wisconsin
played good defense, but couldn't manage anything but two Taylor Mehlhaff field
goals after P.J. Hill took a short pass for a rumbling 29-yard touchdown early
in the first quarter. Player of the game ... Michigan WR Mario Manningham
caught seven passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns Stat Leaders: Michigan- Passing: Chad
Henne, 18-25, 211 yds, 2 TD, 3 INT Rushing: Mike Hart, 23-91, 1 TD. Receiving:
Mario Manningham, 7-113, 2 TD Wisconsin - Passing: John Stocco, 22-42,
236 yds, 1 TD
Rushing: P.J. Hill, 20-54. Receiving: P.J. Hill,
5-64, 1 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ...
Wisconsin's lack of a vertical passing game, or even the threat of one, proved
costly against Michigan. It was obvious the Wolverines didn't worry one bit
about the Badger receivers and put everyone up to stuff P.J. Hill and the
running game. For Wisconsin to beat the better teams, especially if the passing
game is clicking, everything else has to work. The D did a great job of keeping
the game close, but the special teams were way too shaky, especially in the
punting game. The Badgers needed several breaks, and didn't get them.
Sept. 16
Wisconsin 14 ... San Diego State 0
Wisconsin got all its points in the second half as P.J. Hill
rumbled for a 53-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter and sealed
it up on a six-yard touchdown pass to Paul Hubbard in the fourth quarter. The
Badger defense was never really threatened with the Aztecs failing to get into
the red zone and only gaining 115 yards of total offense and seven first downs. Player of the game ...Wisconsin
RB P.J. Hill ran for 184 yards and the game’s first touchdown on 26 carries. Stat Leaders: San Diego State- Passing: Darren Mougey,
15-27, 102 yds Rushing: Lynell Hamilton, 11-19 Receiving: Lynell Hamilton, 6-26 Wisconsin - Passing: John Stocco, 12-23, 85 yds Rushing: P.J. Hill, 26-184, 1 TD Receiving: Paul Hubbard, 3-18 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... The
offense is nowhere near ready for prime time. Granted, QB John Stocco is still
trying to get in sync with his new receivers, but he's not able to make nearly
enough plays to get them the ball on the move. Using the offensive line and the
power of P.J. Hill works to wear down teams like San Diego State and Western
Illinois, but it's not going to work against Michigan next week. However, the
defense is playing at a Big Ten title level. Can Stocco open things up a little
bit? He had better.
Sept. 9
Wisconsin 34 ... Western Illinois 10
Wisconsin wasn't all that crisp, but it didn't have a problem
with the Leathernecks thanks to a 17-pound second quarter helped by two of P.J.
Hill's three touchdown runs and a Taylor Mehlhaff 46-yard field goal. WIU had a
great shot early after recovering a fumbled opening kickoff deep in Badger
territory, but it could only manage a 42-yard field goal. UW put it away in the
fourth quarter on a two-yard Hill run and a 24-yard scoring grab from Andy
Crooks. The only WIU touchdown came late on a 17-yard interception return for a
score from Kevin Almlie. Player of the game ... Wisconsin RB P.J. Hill ran 22
times for 101 yards and three touchdowns. Stat Leaders: Wisconsin- Passing: John
Stocco, 15-25, 227 yds, 1 TD Rushing: P.J. Hill, 22-101, 3 TD. Receiving:
Paul Hubbard, 4-87 Western Illinois - Passing: Steve
LaFalce, 20-41, 168 yds, 3 INT
Rushing: Herb Donaldson, 17-70. Receiving: Marco
Thomas, 8-54 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... The
Badgers were able to go through the motions and beat Western Illinois, but there
are concerns to worry about. Backup QB Tyler Donovan hasn't shown much of
anything when given the chance, and the receiving corps is still a work in
progress with starting QB John Stocco doing his best to get things moving
through the air. P.J. Hill is a keeper. He might not be a special back, but he's
powerful and always gains the tough yards. The defense has been excellent, but
it hasn't really been tested yet.
Sept. 2
Wisconsin 35 ... Bowling Green 14
Wisconsin got a blocked punt for a score from Jonathan
Casillas to break a 7-7 tie and then bent, but didn't break on defense the rest
of the way only allowing a two-yard Freddie Barnes scoring run in the third
quarter. The Badgers scored 14 unanswered points with John Stocco throwing a
four-yard touchdown pass to Bill Rentmeester and P.J. Hill rumbling for a
ten-yard touchdown. Barnes gave the Badgers fits running for 158 yard, but he
failed to get the passing game going. Player of the game ... Wisconsin LB Mark Zalewski made
a career-high 14 tackles. Stat Leaders: Wisconsin- Passing: John
Stocco, 9-15, 124 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT Rushing: P.J. Hill, 22-130, 1 TD. Receiving:
Travis Beckum, 3-49 Bowling Green - Passing: Freddie Barnes,
12-19, 82 yds
Rushing: Freddie Barnes, 29-158, 2 TD. Receiving:
Ruben Ruiz, 3-20 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... It wasn't
a stellar performance by Wisconsin, but it was able to put away Bowling Green by
stopping everything but the scrambling of QB Freddie Barnes. The Badger ground
game was effective, but not as dominating as it'll need to be if John Stocco and
the passing attack isn't more explosive. Stocco has to be razor-sharp with the
receivers not quite looking ready for primetime yet. He'll get the chance to
tune things up next week against Western Illinois.
Can we finally all admit that Wisconsin football isn't that bad?
Almost 15 years since the Badger program started to become a player
on the national scene, there's still a sense that this is nothing
more than an overachiever that isn't nearly as good as
its record. It's thought of as slow, pounding, and tough, but it's
not considered flashy or all that talented. That might have been the
case ten years ago, but now, nothing is further from the truth.
Which team has cranked out more NFL draft weekend picks over the last
six years: USC, Texas, LSU, Oklahoma, Michigan, Auburn, or
Wisconsin?
Yup, the Badgers lead the list with 31 players selected. That's one more than USC, two more than LSU,
three more than Oklahoma, nine more than Texas, six more than Michigan, and 12 more than
Auburn, who was supposed to be head-and-shoulders faster and more
athletic than the Badgers in the Capital One Bowl.
Fine, so going by NFL draft picks is hardly the
be-all-end-all-measure to judge how good a program is, but
it does show that Wisconsin gets athletic players who can run,
jump, hit, and do all the other things the players at other top programs do.
Instead of thinking of Wisconsin as a little engine that
could, it's time to raise the expectations for a program with nine
winning seasons in the last ten and 35 wins over the last four years.
It's time to start demanding more big wins, BCS expectations,
and more respect on a national scale even though the torch has been
passed from Barry Alvarez to Bret Bielema.
Many will once again underestimate the Badgers with only three
starters returning on an offense that loses the top seven pass catchers
along with touchdown machine Brian Calhoun, but the team is at a point
where it can reload. The new starting receivers could be among UW's
fastest ever, there are more than enough huge, pounding running backs to
carry the workload, and the line should be better with three legitimate
All-Big Ten candidates returning.
The defense struggled last season finishing 92nd in the nation, but that
was mostly because of a young line that never got healthy. Now there are
eight fantastic prospects up front, speed at outside linebacker and
corner, and steady All-Big Ten caliber players at safety and middle
linebacker.
So don't just look past Wisconsin in the Big Ten race and don't just
assume it can't play among the big boys. It is one of the big boys.
The Schedule: If
you want a schedule to make a sleeper run for the national title,
this is it if you believe Michigan isn't all that great and if the
Badgers can solve their recent problems against Iowa. There's no Ohio
State and no Michigan State, which is a good thing this season. The
non-conference schedule is a joke playing at Bowling Green and with
home games against Western Illinois, San Diego State and Buffalo.
Penn State and Minnesota have to come to Madison, and two of the
four conference road games are at Indiana and Purdue. That means it
might be a three-game schedule for a truly huge season: at Michigan on
September 23rd, at home against Penn State on November 4th, and at Iowa on November 11th.
Best
Offensive Player: Senior OT Joe Thomas.
He likely would've been the second tackle taken in the 2006 NFL
Draft behind Virginia's D'Brickashaw Ferguson, but he suffered a
torn ACL helping out on defense against Auburn in the Capital One
Bowl. He's expected to be back and ready to roll later this summer
and an All-America lock.
Best
Defensive Player:
Senior LB Mark Zalewski. Most Big Ten fans have no clue
who he is, but they will. He's a tackling machine with phenomenal
range, and now he should be an all-star with more help up front to
take some of the pressure off.
Key
player to a successful season: Senior QB John Stocco. Back for his
third season as the starter, he has to be razor-sharp from day one
with a brand new receiving corps and backfield to work with. He was
better than he got credit for last year, but he also have 2006 NFL
draft picks Brian Calhoun, Brandon Williams, Jonathan Orr, Owen
Daniels and Jason Pociask to throw to.
The
season will be a success if ... Wisconsin wins at least a share
of the Big Ten title. There are way too many question marks to ask
for an unbeaten season, but the talent is there to go 10-2 and the
schedule is nice enough to reasonably shoot for a Big Ten title and
a BCS spot.
Key
game: September 23rd at Michigan. The Badgers beat the Wolverines
for the first time since 1994 in a classic 23-20 battle in Madison.
Barring an upset, a win in Ann Arbor would likely mean a 9-0 start
before facing Penn State at home.
