Scouting the Badgers

Quarterback
After transferring from Kansas State and sitting out a year, senior Allan Evridge got minutes in seven games last year. This season he is 57% for 752 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions.

Runningbacks
Junior running back PJ Hill is seventh in school history with 3230 career rushing yards. He averages 115.4 yards/game. He had this second 200-yard career game this season against Akron. This season he has 449 yards and four touchdowns. Also getting time at RB are John Clay and Zach Brown.

O-Line
Ok so I usually don't discuss the O-Line for the opposing team, but this one is pretty impressive with the five starting lineman having 124 combined starts between them and they average 6' 6" and 319 lbs., yes I said average. The shortest is 6'4" and the lightest is 301 lbs.

Receivers
Graham and Gilreath lead the team in receptions with 154 yards and 139 yards respectively. Graham has three touchdowns and Gilreath has one touchdown. Graham has had more playing time with the senior tight end Travis Beckum injured. Beckum is expected to healthy for this game.

Defense
Wisconsin only allowed 268 yards versus Michigan, but 247 were in the second half. Two of the impact players on the defense are linebackers DeAndre Levy and Jaevery McFadden. Junior safety Shane Carter already has two interceptions this season, and has nine in his career.

This Season
Wisconsin had high expectations this season, rising up to #9 before their collapse last week at Michigan. The team looked solid in wins against Akron and Marshall, but at #21 Fresno State the offense could not get started only scoring one touchdown at the end of the first quarter, and adding two field goals in the second and third quarters. Fresno State missed three missed field goals Wisconsin ran the clock out to end the game. At Michigan, Wisconsin led 19-0 at halftime, and it appeared Michigan was on its way to another loss under Coach Rod, but Michigan scored 27 in the second half and benefited off a failed two point conversion by Wisconsin. It was a big upset for Michigan, in fact it was the biggest comeback in Michigan Stadium history.
