Kirk Herbstreit has Wisconsin, DC Jim Leonhard among most impressive from Week 7
Wisconsin kept up the impressive work with another dominant performance in Week 7.
It seems like impressive performances are a recurring theme for the Badgers this season. After many analysts predicted a tough game in store against Michigan State, Wisconsin started fast and finished strong in a 38-0 rout.
Remarkably, it became the fourth shutout of the season for the Badgers. Even more impressive is the fact that superstar running back Jonathan Taylor was limited to 80 yards in the game but that did not slow down the offense.
The Badgers moved up to No. 6 on the latest AP Poll and are knocking on the door of the top four as we hit the second half of the season. ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit also took notice of the team’s big win.
