Why the Badgers used Hunter Wohler at punt returner vs. Rutgers

The Wisconsin Badgers pulled off an impressive 42-7 victory over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday, improving to 4-2 on the year and 2-1 in conference play.

There were many things that the Badgers did well, building off their 52-6 win over the Purdue Boilermakers a week ago, but there were some notable changes due to injuries for the second straight week.

One of the bigger dilemmas? Wisconsin’s punt return situation, as the Badgers surprisingly turned to safety Hunter Wohler on Saturday as their lead returner.

Wohler was essentially tasked with making fair catches, but did have one muff that he recovered near midfield that gave Badgers fans a small scare.
