Wisconsin defense adds insult to injury with 4th quarter pick-six vs. MSU
Extending No. 8 Wisconsin’s lead to 31-0 early in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Badgers redshirt senior linebacker Zack Baun made his presence felt with a 34-yard pick-six.

A three-star prospect in the 2015 class, Baun was the No. 4 player in the state of Wisconsin according to the 247Sports Composite.
His first of two touchdowns on the day, junior running back Jonathan Taylor got the scoring started with a one-yard run in the first quarter. Adding a 19-yard touchdown pass to junior Quintez Cephus from classmate Jack Coan, the Badgers took a 17-0 lead into halftime.
Now late in the fourth quarter, Wisconsin leads 38-0 with the game airing on BTN. If the Badgers can hold the Spartans scoreless, they will record their fourth shutout of the 2019 season already.
