The scene: Swaths of empty seats in Camp Randall Stadium don’t stop crowd from getting loud | Football


Over the past 10 years, according to the Wisconsin State Journal, Wisconsin has had average scanned ticket attendance of 61,629 on the opening weekend of rifle season. That’s included games against Ohio State, a ranked Northwestern team and Michigan.

Wisconsin’s issues are shared by any number of programs across the country, Nebraska included. A lack of available workers has forced the Badgers to close concession stands and led to long lines at others. Digital tickets (remember when Nebraska tried to do that?) and cashless concession stands have contributed, as have, of course, COVID-19 concerns.

None of those things stopped Camp Randall from getting loud on Saturday, though.

Williams recognized: Wisconsin defensive tackle Bryson Williams, a Lincoln Southeast graduate, was recognized during the Badgers’ pregame senior day ceremony.

Williams, a three-star recruit out of high school, signed with the Badgers on Dec. 20, 2017, 18 days after Scott Frost was hired at Nebraska and made a late push to try and get the former Lincoln Southeast Knight to flip his commitment to the Huskers.

It’s been a star-crossed college career for 6-foot-1, 291-pounder, who made three starts as a freshman in 2018. After that though, injuries plagued Williams’ development in playing time. He appeared in just six games in 2019, and made two tackles in Wisconsin’s seven games in 2020. Of his 20 career tackles, 12 came in his freshman season.
