About Wisconsin Badgers Football

Few settings in college football carry the weight of Camp Randall Stadium, the fourth-oldest stadium in college football and the home of Wisconsin Badgers football since 1917. More than 76,000 fans fill the bowl in Madison on fall Saturdays to watch a program that sits among the 26 in college football history to win 700 or more games. Wisconsin has competed in the Big Ten Conference since the league formed in 1896, the same year the Badgers became its first champion. That blend of setting, history, and conference stakes is a big part of what fans get with Wisconsin Badgers football tickets.

The nickname comes from the state's mining days, when lead prospectors in the 1820s and 1830s wintered in tunnels burrowed into hillsides and lived like badgers. The football team first took the field in 1889 and posted undefeated seasons in 1901 and 1912. The 1942 squad knocked off the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes at Camp Randall and earned a Helms Athletic Foundation selection as national champion. Alan Ameche won the program's first Heisman Trophy in 1954, and the 1962 team upset top-ranked Northwestern on the way to a No. 2 finish in the AP poll. The modern era took shape under Barry Alvarez, who arrived in 1990 with the program at a low point and left 16 seasons later with a 118-73-4 record, three Big Ten titles, and three Rose Bowl victories. Today the playing field at Camp Randall bears his name.

The football itself has an identity. Wisconsin has built its reputation on physical, run-first offense, and the school record book reads like a history of the college running back, with NCAA and Big Ten marks set by Ron Dayne, Montee Ball, Melvin Gordon, and Jonathan Taylor. In the stands, Camp Randall runs on rituals: students and fans bounce to "Jump Around" between the third and fourth quarters, the marching band closes every home game with the Fifth Quarter, and Bucky Badger works the sidelines. Trophy games against Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska give the schedule its rhythm. That combination of power football and ritual makes a Saturday in Madison feel different from anywhere else in the Big Ten.

Who are the greatest players in Wisconsin Badgers football history?

Wisconsin's list of all-time greats starts with two Heisman Trophy winners, Alan Ameche (1954) and Ron Dayne (1999), and runs especially deep at running back, a position where Badgers have set their share of NCAA and Big Ten records.
  • Ron Dayne: set the NCAA FBS career rushing record with 7,125 yards from 1996 through 1999 and won the 1999 Heisman Trophy.
  • Alan Ameche: won the 1954 Heisman Trophy, the first in school history.
  • Melvin Gordon: rushed for 408 yards against Nebraska in November 2014, an FBS single-game record at the time, and set a Big Ten single-season record with 2,587 yards.
  • Jonathan Taylor: won the Doak Walker Award in back-to-back seasons, 2018 and 2019, and piled up a school-record 12 career 200-yard rushing games.
  • Montee Ball: finished his career with NCAA FBS records for total touchdowns (83) and points scored (500).
  • Russell Wilson: set Wisconsin single-season marks in 2011 with 33 touchdown passes and an FBS-record 191.8 passer rating.
  • Joe Thomas: won the 2006 Outland Trophy and earned induction into both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Beyond the backfield, four former Badgers have reached the Pro Football Hall of Fame, including center Mike Webster, and 16 former players and coaches are enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.

How many championships and Rose Bowls have the Wisconsin Badgers football team won?

Wisconsin has won 14 Big Ten championships, eight of them outright, along with three Rose Bowl victories. The Badgers were the conference's first champion in 1896, put together undefeated title seasons in 1901 and 1912, and received the Helms Athletic Foundation's nod as 1942 national champion, a selection the school has never claimed. The modern hardware piled up under Barry Alvarez, whose 1993 team beat UCLA 21-16 for the program's first Rose Bowl win and whose 1998 and 1999 teams won back-to-back Rose Bowls, a feat that made him the only Big Ten head coach to win consecutive Rose Bowls. Bret Bielema added three straight conference titles from 2010 through 2012, capped by a 70-31 win over Nebraska in the 2012 Big Ten Championship Game, and the 2017 team finished 13-1 with an Orange Bowl victory.

What major awards have Wisconsin Badgers football players won?

Two Wisconsin players have won the Heisman Trophy: Alan Ameche in 1954 and Ron Dayne in 1999. Dayne's 1999 sweep also included the Maxwell Award, the Walter Camp Award, and AP Player of the Year honors, and the Badgers have collected most of the sport's other major trophies along the way.
  • Doak Walker Award: claimed five times by Badgers running backs, by Ron Dayne (1999), Montee Ball (2012), Melvin Gordon (2014), and Jonathan Taylor (2018 and 2019).
  • Outland Trophy: won by Joe Thomas in 2006 and Gabe Carimi in 2010.
  • Jim Thorpe Award: won by Jamar Fletcher in 2000.
  • Ronnie Lott Award: won by J.J. Watt in 2010.
The program has produced 32 consensus All-Americans, and its College Football Hall of Fame roll includes Pat Richter, Elroy Hirsch, Barry Alvarez, Ron Dayne, and Joe Thomas.

What is fan culture like at a Wisconsin Badgers football game?

A Wisconsin Badgers football Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium runs on rituals that fans plan their whole day around. Between the third and fourth quarters, the stadium jumps as one to "Jump Around," a tradition that began on October 10, 1998, during a homecoming game against Purdue. The shaking is real enough that officials briefly paused the tradition in 2003 over structural concerns, and engineers confirmed the building could handle it. After the final whistle, the University of Wisconsin Marching Band treats the crowd to the Fifth Quarter, a post-game tradition from 1969 that ends with the alma mater, "Varsity." Bucky Badger and the "On, Wisconsin!" fight song tie the whole day together, and ESPN's College GameDay has made regular stops in Madison for the biggest games. The trophy rivalries anchor the schedule:
  • Paul Bunyan's Axe: on the line against the Minnesota Golden Gophers since 1948, with every score in the series inscribed on the handle. First played in 1890, it is the most-played rivalry in Division I FBS football.
  • Heartland Trophy: a bull mounted on a walnut base, awarded to the winner of the Iowa Hawkeyes game since 2004.
  • Freedom Trophy: on the line against the Nebraska Cornhuskers since 2014.
Between the jumping, the band, and the axe, a Wisconsin Badgers football game in Madison is one of college football's most distinctive Saturdays.
