Wisconsin Buries Eastern Michigan 54-10 After a 7-0 Deficit
Eastern Michigan led 7-0 after about five minutes. Wisconsin then scored 41 points before the Eagles found the board again, and the final read 54-10. If you stopped checking after the first drive, you missed the whole thing.
Noah Kim hit Nick Devereaux for an 18-yard touchdown early, and that was the end of the good news for the visitors. Gavin Lahm kicked a 39-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter. Then came the second quarter, which was a parade: Colton Joseph ran in from 4 yards, threw a 75-yard touchdown to Chris Brooks Jr., Darrion Dupree ran in from 10, and Joseph found Tyrell Henry for 13 more with under a minute left in the half. Wisconsin was up by 25 or more at the break. Another score came early in the third off a Kim sack and fumble that Wisconsin returned for a touchdown, and Lahm added a 41-yard field goal.
The yardage was as lopsided as the score. Wisconsin gained 479 yards, 362 of them through the air, to Eastern Michigan's 216. The Eagles threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, and Wisconsin finished the day with a 55-yard blocked field goal return for a touchdown on the final play, because some days just keep giving.
Wisconsin is 2-1. Eastern Michigan is 1-3.
For fantasy, Joseph was the whole show: three touchdown passes, one on the ground and 43.1 points. Henry caught 14 balls, which is a lot of balls.
