Wisconsin vs. Michigan 2025 Football Player Stats

Michigan beat Wisconsin 24–10 on October 4, 2025, at Michigan Stadium. The official Wisconsin Badgers football vs. Michigan Wolverines football match player stats show a clear split in offensive production: Bryce Underwood passed for 270 yards, Justice Haynes rushed for 117, and Donaven McCulley recorded 112 receiving yards. Wisconsin's leading passer, Hunter Simmons, finished with 177 yards. This is an archival football box-score guide for the 2025 meeting, not a forecast or a report about a later season.

Final score and quarter totals

Wisconsin opened the scoring on a five-yard touchdown run by Dilin Jones, but Michigan tied it later in the opening quarter on a Justice Haynes touchdown. Dominic Zvada's field goal gave Michigan a 10–7 halftime edge. Michigan extended the lead after the break with a Bryce Underwood touchdown pass to McCulley and another Haynes rushing score. Wisconsin's final points came from a late field goal.

Michigan individual player leaders

Michigan did not need to chase a single big rushing play to control the game. Haynes' 117 net yards helped establish a reliable ground threat, while Underwood's 270 passing yards gave Michigan a second way to advance. McCulley's 29-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was particularly important because it put Wisconsin behind by two scores rather than leaving the game as a one-possession contest.

Wisconsin individual player leaders

The Badgers' leading numbers should be read in context. Simmons produced more than 170 yards through the air, but Wisconsin did not score a passing touchdown. Jones supplied Wisconsin's only touchdown on the ground; Anthony II led the receivers by yardage. A team's leading statistical performance does not necessarily mean the offense was efficient enough on scoring drives.

Team statistics tell a wider story

Michigan gained 193 more total offensive yards and held the edge in both passing and rushing. Its 175 net rushing yards compared with Wisconsin's 75 helped keep the offense balanced, while a cleaner turnover line reduced the need to recover from short-field mistakes. That explains why the game became more comfortable for the Wolverines in the second half.

What the individual stats do and do not prove

Underwood's passing total and Haynes' rushing total are complementary, not interchangeable. A passing yard belongs to the quarterback and to the receiver on the same play, while team total offense counts that yard only once. Likewise, tackles and other defensive numbers require their own box-score categories rather than being inferred from the final score. This guide highlights offensive leaders and team totals; it is not a full defensive participation ledger.

Why the date matters for search results

Searches for Wisconsin and Michigan can surface football contests, basketball games and matchups in different years. The 24–10 result was specifically the October 4, 2025 college-football game in Ann Arbor. A future Michigan–Wisconsin game should have its own date-specific page only when it serves a genuinely separate type of search, rather than overwriting this historical record.
