Wisconsin took liberties on the Rutgers defense, who had no real answer all day for the Badgers offense. Graham Mertz started off rocky with an early interception, but ended up throwing for 240 yards and three touchdowns, which hopefully can be used as some momentum for the young passer.
The Badgers looked like the teams of old, three running backs ran for touchdowns, and as a team went for over 300 yards on the ground. Braelon Allen continues to look like a future star, and hopefully Chez Mellusi’s injury is nothing serious or lengthy.

It was nice to see Kendric Pryor get the opportunity to make some plays today as well, as he’s seemed to be on the back burner of a passing game that never puts anything on the stove.
