MADISON--The 18th ranked Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Western Illinois Leathernecks 37-3 Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium.
Junior quarterback Tanner McEvoy threw for three touchdowns and ran for another score. Running back Melvin Gordon gained just 38 yards on 17 carries. His lone touchdown came on a reception in the third quarter.
The Badgers have now won 300 straight non-conference home games--the second longest streak in the nation (Louisiana State).
