Impact Rucci logged his first catches since the Week 3 win over New Mexico State. This included the Badgers' lone passing touchdown of the game, as he slipped into the end zone on a blown defensive coverage for an easy 15-yard reception. Rucci also logged as many catches and just one less target than senior Jack Eschenbach, who finished the year as Wisconsin's No. 1 tight end with 14 receptions on 24 targets. It's possible the junior tight end could be in line for a bigger receiving role when the program shifts to a new air-raid-inspired scheme next season under offensive coordinator Phil Longo.
