Badgers Rise In Polls After Big Win At BYU

The Wisconsin football team rises in both major polls Sunday, after the Badgers’ 40-6 romp at B-Y-U the previous day. The 3-0 Badgers went up one place to ninth in the national media survey, while jumping two spots to tenth in the coaches’ poll. Coach Paul Chryst called the B-Y-U game an opportunity for both players and coaches to grow — and he said quarterback Alex Hornibrook and rusher Jonathan Taylor were among them, along with receiver Quintez Cephus, A-J Taylor, and Danny Davis. Wisconsin has had at least 200 passing yards and 200 rushing yards in all three of their games this season after accomplishing the feat just twice last year. The Badgers have a bye next weekend and will open their Big Ten schedule September 30th at home against Northwestern.
