Where do the Badgers need to improve in defending the run?

The Wisconsin Badgers pulled off a second double-digit victory on Saturday, beating the South Dakota Coyotes 27-13 in Week 2.

It was a different game than Week 1, as the Badgers saw more explosives through the air, while Cade Yacamelli provided a boost on the ground with Tawee Walker injured.

But, one issue that remained was defending the run, as Wisconsin allowed 147 yards on the ground on 4.6 yards per carry, not including sacks.

That marks a second straight week where the Badgers have given up 120+ yards on the ground, as the defense has struggled to contain outside runs, either due to the defensive line not being able to hold their assignments or the linebackers overflowing, leading to gaps.
