Henry sets receptions record and Joseph has big day as Wisconsin pounds Eastern Michigan 54-10

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Tyrell Henry caught 14 passes to set a Wisconsin single-game record and Colton Joseph threw for 362 yards and accounted for four touchdowns as the Badgers trounced Eastern Michigan 54-10 on Saturday.

Henry’s 14 catches included a 13-yard touchdown and totaled a career-high 160 yards. He did all that despite dislocating a finger in Wisconsin’s opening drive, according to Badgers coach Luke Fickell.

After catching 24 passes for Michigan State in 2023, Henry totaled six receptions for Wisconsin from 2024-25. He already has 22 catches for 293 yards this season.

“I always knew I could do it,” Henry said. “It was just having the opportunity, which they’ve given me. They trust me to come do it.”

Matt Nyquist previously owned Wisconsin’s single-game record with 13 receptions in a 33-20 loss to Iowa in 1995.

Joseph’s 362 yards passing rank seventh in school history. Joseph went 23 of 33 with three touchdowns and an interception, and he also rushed for a team-high 46 yards and one touchdown on nine carries. His 408 total yards matched Wisconsin’s third-highest, single-game total.
