Badgers grades, snap counts on offense from Week 7 vs. UCLA: A lot of players struggled
The Badgers did not have a good day on offense.
The Wisconsin Badgers faced a challenging matchup against the No. 12 UCLA Bruins, losing 17-7 on Saturday. This performance marked the second loss of the season for the Badgers, particularly in the offense. Quarterback Colton Joseph struggled, completing just 6 of 16 passes for 66 yards. He was joined by a group of players who collectively struggled in various aspects of the game.
The running backs, Darrion Dupree and Abu Sama III, had limited success, with Dupree amassing just 20 yards on six carries and Sama III contributing 34 yards on the same number of attempts. The wide receivers faced significant issues as well, with Jaylon Domingeaux being the sole standout performer on the day with a 23-yard catch.
The tight ends also had a challenging day, with Jacob Harris and Grant Stec contributing to the team's efforts but not delivering the necessary gains. The offensive line, particularly the starting center PJ Wilkins, faced difficulties in run-blocking, leading to multiple pressures on Colton Joseph. Overall, the Badgers' offense struggled on third downs, with a 9.4-yard average distance to go, and faced pressure from opposing defenses.
