The University of Wisconsin football team’s defense appears to have discovered its rhythm Saturday after its second straight Big Ten victory over Rutgers University Scarlet Knights by a score of 24-13.

The Wisconsin defense put together their best performance of the season. It held Rutgers to just 13 points, their lowest total of the year.

While the Badgers’ defensive performance was a dominant group effort, it was Ricardo Hallman who made the play of the day. The redshirt sophomore picked off Rutgers’ Gavin Wimsatt in the red zone and ran it back 95 yards for a score before intermission.
