Wisconsin should strike (In)gold at fullback this season

A fullback dive and 3rd-and-short for the Wisconsin offense last season seemed so commonly placed together, they felt like a perfect pairing synonymous with “peanut butter” and “jelly,” “walk-on” and “grit,” and ... [sigh] “Wisconsin” and “cheese.”

Austin Ramesh and Alec Ingold—takers of said fullback dives that worked often—provided head coach Paul Chryst and his offense with a pair of versatile and dependable fullbacks who could block, run, and catch when called upon. Ramesh signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent before announcing his retirement earlier this summer, but Ingold returns for a senior campaign where he could once again be utilized to success within a robust and potent offense.
