Inside Wisconsin's Tanner McEvoy's big day vs. Rutgers

Once again a jack-of-all-trades, Tanner McEvoy was critical to Wisconsin's impressive performance vs. Rutgers.

The former head coach's efforts to get Tanner McEvoy involved in UW's offense have finally come to fruition. Against Rutgers on Saturday, the senior safety/wide receiver ran for a touchdown, intercepted a pass, and recorded his first career sack. Simply put, McEvoy's odd, yet versatile skill set allows the Badgers a lot of flexibility in their game plans each week.

With Rutgers down wide receiver Leonte Carroo, their only legitimate offensive threat, Wisconsin's defense knew it could afford to be especially aggressive.
