Football grades at Wisconsin: Failure in blowout

Related Topics: Corey Clement, Wisconsin, Ron Dayne

Bob Asmussen offers his grades for Illinois and Wisconsin following a football rout in Madison:

Player of the game: Wisconsin’s Corey Clement
The senior superstar didn’t get to play against the Illini last season because of a groin injury. He made up for it Saturday, running for 123 yards and three touchdowns. He also caught a pass for another 24 yards. He is not Ron Dayne, but he isn’t far behind. If Wisconsin hopes to realize its postseason goals, it will be with a huge boost from Clement.

Offense: Illinois F, Wisconsin A
Illinois never will pull an upset when it has four interceptions.
