Former Trojans Back Bryan Jackson, Wisconsin Upset No. 16 Southern California 24-7
Wisconsin forced two first-half turnovers and held USC to minus-17 rushing yards while Bryan Jackson scored against his former team.
On Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, the Wisconsin Badgers upset the No. 16 Southern California Trojans 24-7 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, effectively stalling the Trojans' College Football Playoff aspirations.
Limiting Southern California to a season-low 241 total yards, Wisconsin's defense forced two critical first-half turnovers while holding the opposition to minus-17 rushing yards.
Former Trojan Bryan Jackson scored a crucial first-half touchdown against his former team, helping the Badgers secure a 17-7 halftime lead while contributing 38 yards on seven attempts.
Quarterback Jayden Maiava threw two interceptions and was sacked five times, as the Trojans managed only 10 yards on the ground and failed to recover from their lowest-scoring first half.
With College Football Playoff hopes fading, head coach Lincoln Riley must navigate a challenging matchup against Iowa at Kinnick Stadium next week as USC reassesses its season trajectory.
