T.J. Edwards sets new Badgers record in Pinstripe Bowl
Published:
No linebacker in Wisconsin history has intercepted as many passes as T.J. Edwards.
The Badgers linebacker came up with his 10th career interception in the third quarter of the Pinstripe Bowl, picking off Miami’s N’Kosi Perry. That total is the most for any linebacker in Wisconsin history.
Edwards’ 10th interception puts him at No. 7 all-time in program history.
That's the 10th interception of @TJEdwards8's career, most by a linebacker in school history and matching DB David Greenwood for the 7th-most by any #Badgers player.#OnWisconsin

Edwards had a tremendous season for the Badgers this fall, registering 104 tackles and two interceptions entering Thursday’s matchup against Miami. The pick against the Hurricanes was his third of the year.
Wisconsin went on to knock off Miami 35-3 in the Pinstripe Bowl to finish the year 8-5. It was the second straight season the Badgers knocked off the Hurricanes.
