Football: No. 10 Wisconsin rolls to 54-10 win over Akron behind career day from Jazz Peavy

For what feels like a long time, the University of Wisconsin football team has sought consistent production from its two top wide receivers.

Lately in the program’s history, it hasn’t happened. But that may change in 2016, if Jazz Peavy and Robert Wheelwright’s play during No. 10 Wisconsin’s 54-10 drubbing of Akron Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium was any indication.

Peavy, a redshirt junior, had a career day. He hauled in two touchdowns for the first scores of his Badger tenure. The fifth-year senior Wheelwright caught four passes for 99 yards, including a screen play that went for 47 yards down the Badger sideline.
