No. 23 Washington Stumbles At Wisconsin 13-10
November 08, 2025 | Football
MADISON, Wisc. – In a low-scoring contest filled with defensive stands and special teams plays, No. 23 Washington came up on the short end of a 13-10 final against Wisconsin.
With snow falling as it had for much of the contest, Washington had the ball and a chance to tie or take the lead in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, but was stopped on fourth down with just over one minute remaining.
Wisconsin opened the scoring with a field goal in the second quarter, which Washington answered with ten consecutive points. Denzel Boston caught his eighth touchdown of the season with a one-handed grab to make the score 10-3.
The Boston touchdown was set up by a blocked punt by the Huskies' special teams unit.
Grady Gross opened the scoring for the purple and gold with a 42-yard field goal.
Gross came on in the fourth quarter with an opportunity to tie the score at 13 but the 50-yard attempt was blocked.
The teams combined for just 456 yards of offensive and 11 punts. The Huskies turned the ball over twice and did not force a Badgers turnover.
Boston finished with 62 yards on eight catches and the touchdown. Demond Williams Jr. led the Huskies with 61 yards rushing.
The Dawgs return to Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium on Nov. 15 for the Salute to Service game. Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are available.
