Grading Wisconsin’s win over Rutgers

After last week’s Halloween horror show at Northwestern, Wisconsin football got right at home on Saturday, beating an overmatched Rutgers team 31–17 at Camp Randall Stadium.

The now bowl-eligible Badgers (6–3) struggled early against the Scarlet Knights (1–8) before breaking things open in the second half.

Here are the unit grades.

In addition to the 31 points, Wisconsin racked up 317 yards rushing (6.9 yards per carry) and had 156 yards passing.

Quarterback Alex Hornibrook returned to the lineup after missing the Northwestern game with concussion symptoms. Unfortunately, the junior reinjured his head on a sack at the end of first half and did not return.
