Time for this week's look at the directions and success of Wisconsin's run game, as well as the targets thrown to by Badgers quarterbacks.

Two weeks ago, things were different because of the quarterback. This past Saturday, it was the running back as Corey Clement played for the first time since the opener.

While the running perspective had a different flavor, the passing game remaned virtually the same as Alex Erickson contiunes to be the main target for Joel Stave . . . by a long shot.

Here's the key to the tables below:

LI = left inside; LO= left outside; LW = left wide (i.e. end around); MID = middle; RI = right inside; RO = right outside; RW = right wide; INT = intended receiver on an interception; LOST/PEN = a complete pass nullified by an offensive penalty; INC/PEN = An incomplete pass nullified by a penalty; D = penalty declined; offset = offsetting penalty
