The performance of the Wisconsin defense against Rutgers could prove helpful with physical games against Iowa and Penn State in the next three weeks.

Here are three key plays from Saturday’s win. Quarterback Braedyn Locke pump faked as Will Pauling was 3 yards down field, and it caused the defender to bite. Locke threw it to Pauling's back hip and Pauling twisted his body and secured the catch for a 16-yard touchdown completion near the right sideline that was the game's first score.

After back-to-back blowout wins, the Badgers are now 4-2 on the season, and we've begun to see tangible signs of growth on both sides of the ball. Is this indicative of the T.E.A.M. they could become under coach Fickell?
