Trech Kekahuna - Grabs four passes in blowout win Kekahuna accrued four receptions (on five targets) for 39 yards during Saturday's 42-7 victory against Rutgers.
Impact Kekahuna came back down to earth after his massive outing against Purdue last week. But, he still prominently figured into the passing game. The redshirt freshman finished with the Badgers' second-most targets behind starting slot receiver Will Pauling, who exited with an upper-body late in the first half. With Pauling sidelined for the rest of the game, Kekahuna clearly stepped up in his absence, and he should do the same once again if Pauling remains sidelined during next week's road game at Northwestern.

Vinny Anthony II - Hits over the top versus Rutgers Anthony notched two receptions (on four targets) for 81 yards during Saturday's 42-7 win versus Rutgers.
Impact Anthony caught two more deep passes versus the Scarlet Knights, including a 47-yard reception that set up a two-yard rushing score for true freshman Darrion Dupree. The junior wideout has emerged as a potent deep threat with quarterback Braedyn Locke starting over the past three games, as the two have connected for seven completions (on 12 targets) for 217 yards and two touchdowns over this span. Anthony's game-changing speed - both before and after the catch - should continue to make him a significant part of the Badgers' newfound success in the passing game. He'll look to hit over the top again during this coming Saturday's road game at Northwestern.

Darrion Dupree - Scores first career TD in Week 7 Dupree recorded 10 rushes for 26 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all two targets for 20 yards during Saturday's 42-7 win against Rutgers.
Impact Dupree served as the Badgers' No. 2 running back behind fifth-year senior Tawee Walker for the second week in a row. The true freshman logged his first career rushing touchdown with a two-yard score early in the third quarter. His production still paled in comparison to Walker, who tallied 24 carries for a career-high 198 rushing yards and three scores on the ground. Dupree also still logged two catches on two targets for the second game in a row. However, it doesn't seem likely that he'll get a ton of opportunities given Walker's increased workload over the past two games.

Will Pauling - Avoids concussion Pauling didn't suffer a concussion against Rutgers and is currently questionable for Northwestern, Evan Flood of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Pauling left the game in Piscataway just before the first half with an apparent upper body injury. He didn't return, but the fact that the wideout didn't suffer a concussion is obviously a great sign for his availability. If Pauling can't go against Northwestern on Saturday, expect Trech Kekahuna's snaps to increase at Wisconsin's slot receiver position.

Braedyn Locke - Keeps it rolling in Piscataway Locke was 20-for-28 passing for 240 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 42-7 victory versus Rutgers. He also had three rushes for six yards with one touchdo...
Impact Locke had perhaps the best overall outing of his career when considering the opponent and setting. The redshirt sophomore completed over 70 percent of his passes for the first time in his career, which includes eight games in which he's seen significant action over the past two years. Locke still took continuous risks with the ball, including on a pick when he made a poor decision to push the ball deep down the field in the first quarter. Nevertheless, he showed strong command of the offense, and he got into the end zone for a one-yard score with just under five minutes left, marking the first rushing touchdown of his career. Locke will look to keep building upon his back-to-back prolific performances when the Badgers head back on the road to face Northwestern in Week 8.

Wisconsin Football Offense Starting to Click With Tawee Walker at RB1 The Badgers offense is starting to click, and Tawee Walker is at the center of it.
OCTOBER 13 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Tawee Walker - Nears 200 rushing yards in win Walker notched 24 rushes for 198 yards and three touchdowns and gathered in one of two targets for three yards during Saturday's 42-7 win versus Rutgers.
Impact Walker powered what was easily Wisconsin's best offensive performance of the season when considering the opposing defense. The Oklahoma transfer was responsible for almost two-thirds of the team's 309 rushing yards as well as three of its five rushing touchdowns, scoring on carries of two, nine and 55 yards. Walker has broken out as the new featured back for the Badgers over the past two games, tallying 43 carries for 292 yards and six touchdowns. He also tallied over twice as many carries as the next-closest back in true freshman Darrion Dupree (10), who also appears to have emerged as the No. 2 rusher. Walker will look to keep it rolling during next week's road game at Northwestern, though he'll be facing a Wildcats defense that is tied for the ninth-lowest rushing yards per attempt allowed so far this season (2.9).

Will Pauling - Won't return against Rutgers Pauling has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against Rutgers due to an upper-body injury, Seamus Rohrer of RotoWire.com reports
Impact Pauling was on the receiving end of a hard hit late in the first half and will not return to the contest after suffering an upper-body injury. The wideout caught four passes for 49 yards and a touchdown before exiting. Trech Kekahuna stands to benefit the most from Pauling's absence. Pauling's next chance to play will come Oct. 19 at Northwester.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Tyrell Henry - Sitting out against Rutgers Henry will not take the field Saturday against Rutgers, per the Big Ten availability report.
Impact Henry sustained a lower-body injury last Saturday against Purdue, and the issue will apparently cost him additional time as a result. The junior wideout hasn't made a significant impact on offense, recording his first catch of the season last week, but he had also seen time as the punt returner that last pair of games.
