Football: McEvoy does it all for Badgers on both sides of ball

After the Wisconsin football team’s 58-0 trouncing of Miami (Ohio) Saturday, Tanner McEvoy said he feels like he’s playing pickup football with his buddies.

Probably because McEvoy played like the kid that’s bigger and stronger than all of his classmates on the blacktop during recess — running the ball, catching passes, making tackles and intercepting balls, all with supreme ease.

That’s exactly what McEvoy displayed on the turf of Camp Randall Stadium Saturday.

He ran. He caught. He covered. He tackled. All in the same game. All in a day’s work for McEvoy.

And he excelled at it all, playing at both safety and wide receiver, and even taking a direct snap in Wisconsin’s wildcat formation.
