LSU was favored to win the game by double - digits . The Badgers came out to lead 6 -- 0 by halftime with the Badgers kicker , Rafael Gaglianone , making two field goals ; one from 30 and the other 48 yards . Runningback Corey Clement led the Badgers on their opening drive of the third quarter and scored a touchdown on a five - yard run . LSU responded with two touchdowns shortly thereafter due to a quick succession of Badgers ' turnovers . Another field goal in the fourth quarter from 47 yards put the Badgers back in the lead . In the last minute of the game , and within field goal range , LSU quarterback Brandon Harris was nearly sacked by linebacker Vince Biegel and threw an interception which was caught by Safety D'Cota Dixon . The turnover secured the victory for the Badgers who in turn ran out the clock . The game was fifth - year senior Bart Houston 's debut as Wisconsin 's starting quarterback , after being a backup quarterback for four years . His debut passer rating of 33.2 was the worst for a Wisconsin quarterback since 1977 when Mike Kalasmicki 's debut passer rating was 5.20 . Rafael Gaglianone had his fourth game - winning field goal of his career , the most in school history . The game was described as a `` historic upset '' for the Badgers by ESPN and Yahoo ! Sports . After the game ESPN Staff Writer Jesse Temple stated that `` Wisconsin secured its most significant nonconference regular - season victory since 1974 , when the team upset fourth - ranked Nebraska 21 -- 20 at Camp Randall Stadium . '' The Badgers snapped the Tigers 52 - game win streak for non-conference regular season wins , an FBS record that stood since a 2002 loss to Virginia Tech . Following the game Wisconsin 's kicker Rafael Gaglianone was lauded with multiple ' Player of the Week ' awards , including Big Ten special teams player of the week , Rose Bowl Big Ten player of the week and one of three Lou Groza Award Stars of the Week . Wisconsin 's Jack Cichy was named the Lott IMPACT Player of the Week for his defensive efforts . Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst was announced as the `` Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week '' following the opening week of college football . Paul Chryst announced in a press conference that Chris Orr , who went down the first play of the game with a right leg injury , would be out for the rest of the year due to a torn ACL . He also stated that former linebacker - turned - fullback Leon Jacobs would now play both sides of the ball at fullback in addition to inside linebacker , to regain some depth at the position due to Chris Orr 's season - ending injury .

The entire game was marked by offensive struggles on Wisconsin 's part . Wisconsin jumped out to an early 6 - 0 lead on the foot of kicker Rafael Gaglianone , who converted field goal attempts from 47 and 28 yards in the 1st quarter . In the second half , things got ugly for the Badgers as Georgia State countered a touchdown run by Dare Ogunbowale with a field goal and touchdown of their own . With Wisconsin struggling to make progress on offense , Paul Chryst replaced QB Bart Houston with redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook . In the 4th quarter , the winless Panthers took the lead 17 - 10 on a 9 - yard run . Hornibrook , however , led the offense on two scoring drives - a touchdown pass to Kyle Penniston and another Gaglianone kick - to pull out the win . The Badgers improved to 3 - 0 on the season , but their struggles on offense led to questions about which quarterback would start next week 's crucial Big Ten matchup against Michigan State .

Wisconsin was also laden with injuries going into the game with two offensive line starters , Jon Dietzen and Micah Kapoi , out with injuries along with placekicker Rafael Gaglianone and fourth - string running back Bradrick Shaw . Michigan State opened the scoring with a field goal by Michael Geiger in the first quarter on a drive started when MSU defensive lineman Raequan Williams stripped and recovered a fumble from Wisconsin 's freshman quarterback . Wisconsin answered back with a seven - and - a-half minute drive resulting in a one - yard touchdown catch by tight end Eric Steffes . Thereafter , Wisconsin 's defense shut down the Spartan offense and an interception by Sojourn Shelton in the second quarter resulted in a one - yard rushing touchdown by running back Corey Clement . The Spartans made another field goal to close out the first half . In the third quarter , Badgers defensive back D'Cota Dixon forced a fumble which was recovered by fellow Badgers DB Leo Musso who returned it for a 66 - yard touchdown . Also in the third quarter , the Badgers replacement kicker Andrew Endicott made his first ever field goal attempt ( college or high school ) at 41 yards , Corey Clement had another five - yard rushing touchdown to round out the third quarter . Overall , the Badgers forced four turnovers . Hornibrook , on third down , completed nine of his 13 attempts for 136 yards and a touchdown and , on third and long ( 10 + yards ) , he was six for six for 100 yards . It was the first time since 1999 that a Big Ten team beat two top ten teams by the first of October in the same season , the last being Penn State in 1999 . The last time Wisconsin defeated two top ten teams in the same season was 1962 . The last time Wisconsin beat MSU in East Lansing was in 2002 when Barry Alvarez was head coach . The last time Wisconsin beat a top team team on the road was at No. 5 Purdue in 2004 . Wisconsin players were lauded after the game , including freshman QB Alex Hornibrook for making his debut on the road against No. 8 Michigan State and was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week .
