Wisconsin Week 10 Defensive Snap Count Breakdown: Badgers get to Deploy Depth vs. Rutgers

Wisconsin's defense got back on track against Rutgers in a much-needed Week 10 win.

After the upset over then-No. 16 USC, I was ready to deem this Badgers defense one of the best in the nation. Just a week later, they dispelled that notion pretty emphatically in a 30-0 blowout loss to Iowa. Against a much weaker opponent in Rutgers, however, defensive coordinator Mike Tressel's unit righted the ship.

The Badgers notched eight tackles-for-loss, five sacks and held the Scarlet Knights to 161 yards passing and 2.6 yards per carry.
