Will Pauling - Leads receiving effort in comeback Pauling recorded eight receptions (on 11 targets) for 79 yards to go along with an 11-yard carry during Saturday's 24-17 overtime victory against Nebraska. Impact Pauling once again had to put the Badgers' passing game on his back, as he accounted for the majority of production from quarterback Tanner Mordecai (18-for-28 passing, 160 yards). The redshirt sophomore has been extremely effective at getting open over the middle of the field, yielding 64 receptions for 675 yards and three touchdowns. He also logged double-digit targets for the sixth time in the last seven games during Saturday's comeback win. However, he did appear to go down with a lower-leg injury during the second half that hampered him late in the game. Pauling's availability will be a crucial aspect to monitor heading into next week's regular-season finale against rival Minnesota.
