The 1968 Wisconsin Badgers football team represented the University of Wisconsin in the 1968 Big Ten Conference football season. Led by second-year head coach John Coatta, the Badgers compiled an overall record of 0–10 with a mark of 0–7 in conference play, placing last out of ten teams in the Big Ten. Wisconsin played home games at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.
This was the first season of artificial turf at Camp Randall Stadium;[1] [2] the Tartan Turf home opener was against Washington of the Pacific-8 Conference,[3] who had just installed AstroTurf at their Husky Stadium in Seattle.[4] Outside of these two, the only other University Division venues with synthetic turf in 1968 were the Astrodome (Houston) and Neyland Stadium (Tennessee).
Two Wisconsin Badgers were selected in the 1969 NFL/AFL draft, which lasted 17 rounds with 442 selections.
