Badgers Outlast Minutemen in Opener 
Posted on August 4, 2013 at 06:37 PM.
Madison, WI- Gary Anderson's arrival at Wisconsin was met with much enthusiasm after Bret Bielema bolted for Arkansas. Anderson led his Utah State team to within a missed field goal of upsetting the Badgers at Camp Randall last year, a game that saw Joel Stave take over as starter over Danny O'Brien. This time, however, it was Stave's turn to be benched in favor of a newcomer.

With the offense sputtering, and the Massachusetts Minutemen leading the game, Coach Anderson went with Juco transfer Tanner McEvoy. McEvoy led the Badgers on late scoring drives in the final minutes of both halves, which led the Badgers to a tight 35-28 victory over the Minutemen.
