Badgers break top-ranked Buckeyes 31-18 RECAP
By Max Sternberg the daily cardinal
For just the fourth time in program history and the first in nearly 30 years, the Wisconsin football team took down a top-ranked team as the Badgers upset No. 1 Ohio State 31-18 Saturday night in front of a raucous Camp Randall crowd—igniting an unparalleled celebration that lasted long into Sunday morning. Riding the wave of emotion that swept through Madison the entire day, the much-maligned special teams brought the crowd into hysteria early, as David Gilreath followed a huge block by Bradie Ewing en route to a 99-yard touch-
down on the opening kickoff. After a defensive stop, junior running back John Clay silenced the critics by rushing five times for 51 yards on the opening drive. The sixplay, 58-yard touchdown drive set the stage for Clay’s big night and gave Wisconsin a quick two-score lead. Clay’s 104-yard effort, the first 100-yard rushing performance allowed by the Buckeyes in 29 games, was made possible by the stellar work of the offensive line. “If we’re gonna have success, it starts with both sides of the ball on the line,” head coach Bret Bielema said. “I think that they put a hat on a hat. They played with good fundamentals, good base.”
After a goal line stand held the Buckeyes to just a field goal, Wisconsin senior quarterback Scott Tolzien made his only real mistake of the night as linebacker Andrew Sweat intercepted Tolzien’s errant pass, putting the Buckeyes at the Wisconsin 23-yard line. Once again the Badger defense made the big play. With the Buckeyes facing third down at the Wisconsin 22, J.J. Watt burst through for a key sack, prompting one of the loudest roars heard at Camp Randall in recent memory. “After that interception, we had to shut them down,” Watt said. “Those upset page 7
Gubernatorial debate filled with attacks, exposes candidates’ pasts By Scott Girard The Daily Cardinal
Milwaukee Mayor and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tom Barrett faced off against Milwaukee County Executive and Republican gubernatorial nominee Scott Walker Friday at Marquette University in the second of three scheduled debates. The debate was town-hall style, with questions coming from peo-
ple in the audience and in major cities throughout the state through video feeds. Barrett went on the offensive throughout the night, attacking some of Walker’s policies, namely his proposed tax cuts. “He wants to add 1.8 billion dollars to that structural deficit,” Barrett said in reference to the current $2.7 billion deficit. “So if you care about education, if you
One injury reported as crowd storms field Despite more than 100 people being ejected from the game, there was only one minor injury resulting from the rush onto the field at Camp Randall Stadium after the Badger’s victory against Ohio State Saturday. The fans in the first 20 rows were pushed against the railing separating the stands from the field as students pushed their way down the bleachers from the tops of sections M, N, O and P at the end of the game. Police helped fans over the railing to avoid any serious problems. Police issued 37 citations, including 35 arrests, most for
underage drinking, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Twenty-two of these arrests involved UW-Madison students. An additional 113 people, including 46 UW-Madison students, were ejected from the game for violations including possession of alcohol and throwing objects, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Additionally, the Madison Police Department had 58 extra officers on duty Saturday night into Sunday morning, according to channel3000.com.

Baldwin, Lee debate foreign policy By Beth Pickhard The Daily Cardinal
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Republican candidate Chad Lee debated foreign policy issues including funding for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, foreign aid and immigration Saturday. Lee said before the United States gives foreign aid to other countries it needs to pay off its own debts. He said the focus
should be on “taking care of America first” and creating an “effective” government. Baldwin said foreign aid helps America because manufacturing products for other countries creates jobs and American citizens who go to other countries make money to be reinvested in the economy. “The leadership role we can play with our foreign aid is
amazing, and that tiny, tiny percent of our U.S. budget that goes to foreign aid pays us back richly,” she said. Lee said the United States needs to help Afghanistan to achieve economic and political stability and a clear education system, especially for women. He said Baldwin has not released foreign policy page 3
