No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers Lose Top-25 Volleyball Match to No. 25 USC

The Wisconsin Badgers football team is struggling offensively, recently suffering a 34-0 loss to top-ranked Ohio State and being shut out in back-to-back games for the first time since 1977. Under first-year offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes, the team ranks near the bottom nationally in scoring and yardage, which contrasts with the success of other Wisconsin sports programs this October. While football has averaged only 3.33 points per game, the women's volleyball team is performing well with a 4-1 record in October and competitive play against top-ranked opponents. Additionally, Wisconsin's men's and women's hockey teams have been prolific scorers, with the women's hockey team averaging five goals per game and winning the Ice Breaker Tournament. These contrasting performances highlight the football team's offensive struggles amid the broader athletic department's successes. Wisconsin football will next face the No. 8 Oregon Ducks in an upcoming road game.
