CHICAGO (AP) – Everybody knows Badgers run.
This Wisconsin team, however, is going to do a lot more than that.
The 621 yards of offense piled up by the Badgers in Saturday’s 49-7 rout of Northern Illinois was the sixth-highest total for a single game, and most in eight years. Russell Wilson threw for 347 of those yards, the seventh-best, single-game performance by a Wisconsin quarterback and only ninth 300-yard game in school history.
Badgers coach Bret Bielema says Wilson is playing as well as any quarterback in the country. That versatility will be key for the Badgers, who have one more tuneup before their highly anticipated Oct. 1 game against new Big Ten member Nebraska at Camp Randall.
