The defense was dominant and Tawee Walker shined in the backfield.
Saturday afternoon at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, N.J., a perfect encore to last week's 52-6 dismantling of Purdue. The Badgers improved to 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in the Big Ten.
There wasn't much to dislike in Saturday's victory, and of course, there were no shortage of highlight moments and things that stood out. Here are five of those things that stood out from the Badgers' dominant victory on Saturday:Braedyn Locke has looked really good two weeks in a row. Sure, he has to clean up his game a bit because his interceptions could bite him against better competition.
Walker has eight touchdown runs in the last three games and has nine on the season. He was clearly ready for a full load following Chez Mellusi's departure from the program. It's clear now the Badgers offense runs through Walker.after hauling in four passes for 49 yards and a touchdown is a concern for future weeks, but the fact that Locke kept cruising without his No. 1 receiver is a testament to the depth.
Overall, the Badgers held Rutgers to 168 rushing yards while racking up 309 rushing yards of their own. Walker of course led the way with his 198 rushing yards and three scores. Cade Yacamelli broke off a 45-yard run in the fourth quarter to finish with 72 yards on just four carries. Darrion Dupree had 10 carries for 26 yards and a touchdown, too.Wisconsin can’t overlook Northwestern next week, but there’s a good chance they will leave Evanston, Ill.
