No. 16 Wisconsin Whips Indiana, 62-13 : Big 10: Bevell has perfect first half as Badgers bolt to 41-0 lead.

Darrell Bevell, who had four passes intercepted during the first half of a 38-point loss to Colorado last week, made amends Saturday in leading No. 16 Wisconsin to a 62-13 victory over No. 25 Indiana.

Before a sellout crowd of 77,745 at Camp Randall Stadium, Bevell completed all 13 of his first-half passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns as the Badgers raced to a 41-0 lead.

“I knew he’d snap back just like he did last year,” said Indiana Coach Bill Mallory, who suffered the worst loss in his 11 seasons with the Hoosiers.

Last season, Bevell had five passes intercepted at Minnesota in Wisconsin’s only loss of the season. A week later, he led the Badgers to a 13-10 upset of Michigan, then went on to become the only quarterback in school history to direct a Rose Bowl victory.

Bevell said he wasn’t thinking about last year or even last week.

“I didn’t really use that to help me for this week,” Bevell said. “I just know I’m the quarterback of this team and I know what I’ve done for this team in the past.”

Wisconsin (2-1, 1-0) opened defense of its Big Ten co-championship by scoring more points than it ever had in a Big Ten game. The Badgers scored on their first seven possessions and forced the Hoosiers (3-1, 0-1) to punt the first 10 times they had the ball.

“There’s not a whole lot one can say after that,” Mallory said. “That was a nightmare to say the least. We just got ourselves beat good. We got a rump-kicking.”

Bevell’s first eight passes went to eight receivers, including a three-yard touchdown toss to tight end Michael Roan and a 38-yarder to redshirt freshman wideout Tony Simmons in the first quarter.

Bevell, who finished 13 of 17 with no interceptions, also hit Roan wide open in the end zone from five yards out with 3:24 left in the first half for the 41-0 lead.

The 41 first-half points marked the biggest half in Wisconsin’s 103-year history.

The Badgers’ 632 total yards bested their old mark of 630 against Wyoming in 1973.

Wisconsin tailback Terrell Fletcher, who rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns in 10 carries, broke free for a 56-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter for a 27-0 lead.

Fletcher followed a block by left tackle Mike Verstegen and slipped away from an ankle tackle by linebacker Alfonzo Thurman for the score.

Tailback Brent Moss rushed 25 times for 110 yards, the 14th consecutive game in which he has run for more than 100 yards. He scored first-half touchdowns on runs of one and five yards.
