The unranked Wisconsin Badgers upset the LSU Tigers and spoiled early Heisman hopes for the Leonard Fournette in the process.

Badgers’ kicker Rafael Gaglianone kicked three field goals, including a 47-yarder with 3:57 left in the fourth quarter which proved to be the game winner.

The LSU Tigers only managed to score a touchdown on one offensive drive all game. Their other score came on a pick six by cornerback Tre’Davious White.

It was not a good day for quarterback Brandon Harris or the LSU offense. If you saw the vicious cheap shot by Josh Boutte, you saw just how frustrating of a day it was for the Tigers.

Running back Leonard Fournette rushed for 138 yards but did not score a touchdown. Harris threw two interceptions and couldn’t seem to put the Tigers in a position to win all game.

The Tigers dropped their first season opener since 2004.
