The Badgers, per usual this season, did not have an explosive offensive performance against Minnesota on Saturday. Missing starting WRs Kendric Pryor and Danny Davis III, starting RB Jalen Berger, starting LT Cole Van Lanen and starting C Kayde Lyles Wisconsin was definitely in a hole to start the game.
However, senior RB Garrett Groshek had a monster game, rushing for 154 yards (6.4 ypc) and a touchdown while also catching four passes for 13 yards. The Wisconsin offensive line regularly pushed the Minnesota defensive line yards downfield so Groshek didn’t even see a defender until he was a couple of yards past the line of scrimmage.
