Sept. 20 - Afternoon game (72°, sunny and clear) in Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, Wisconsin (71,496). Televised live in Utah by KBYU.
Playing before a crowd nearly as large as the entire population of Provo, BYU proved to itself that it can play with teams from the Big 10 Conference.
The Cougars dominated the game both offensively and defensively, especially in the second hall when they scored 21 of their 28 points.
Jim McMahon was first to put points on the board for the Cougars with a one-yard run in the second quarter.
After the defense stopped Wisconsin close to the goal line by recovering a fumble, McMahon blew the game open by spotting Dan Plater and hitting him on a 59-yard pass play.
McMahon threw another touchdown pass in the third quarter to Bill Davis.
Plater performed an encore a few minutes later by coming up with a 20-yard scoring pass from McMahon with only 9:38 left in the game.
The defense, once again, held the Badgers at bay, allowing them only three points in the game.
BYU now 2-1.
