Tanner Mordecai - Logs 45 passing attempts in loss Mordecai was 31-for-45 passing for 255 yards during Saturday's 24-10 loss versus Northwestern. He also had eight rushes for 25 yards and a fumble. Impact Mordecai returned as Wisconsin's starting quarterback after missing three games with a broken hand, which he suffered during the Week 7 loss to Iowa. The graduate logged his highest completion percentage since the Badgers' season opener against Buffalo. The graduate senior also logged over 40 passing attempts for the first time this season, though he still averaged a mediocre 5.7 yards per attempt. Mordecai and the Badgers' offense also appeared to be stuck in neutral for the entire game, as the team did not score a touchdown until garbage time in the fourth quarter. Mordecai has now totaled seven touchdowns to six turnovers this season. He and the Badgers will look to salvage their season with a win over Nebraska in Camp Randall this coming Saturday.
