Notre Dame leads Wisconsin 13-10 at halftime at Lambeau Field
Summary

The Wisconsin Badgers and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish met at Lambeau Field on September 6 for a neutral-ground season opener. The Fighting Irish held a 13-10 lead over the Badgers at halftime. A contentious officiating decision in the first quarter shifted momentum when referees ruled that Notre Dame recovered a Wisconsin punt in-bounds, leading to a subsequent Notre Dame touchdown. Wisconsin responded in the second quarter following a 70-yard punt by Sean West that pinned Notre Dame deep, allowing the Badgers to score and briefly tie the game at 10-10. Notre Dame reclaimed the lead with a field goal before the break. Both teams are competing for potential college football playoff spots this season.
