Do two blowouts in a row.

The Badgers football team defeated Rutgers 42-7 on Saturday afternoon at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey, a perfect complement to their 52-6 win over Purdue last week. The Badgers improved to 4-2 this season and 2-1 in the Big Ten.

There wasn’t much to dislike about Saturday’s win, and of course there was no shortage of highlights and standouts. Here are five of the things that stood out in the Badgers’ dominant win on Saturday:

Braedyn Locke has looked really good two weeks in a row. Sure, he needs to clean up his game a bit, as his interceptions (three in the last eight quarters) could hurt him compared to better competition. But he has a strong arm and develops a great rhythm with his receivers, namely Vinny Anthony II and Trech Kekahuna. Maybe it wasn’t coaching speak when Luke Fickell said all summer that Locke was competing with Tyler Van Dyke for the starting job.

On Saturday, Locke went 20 for 28 for 240 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Put Tawee Walker on par with any running back in college football.

Walker ran 24 times for 198 yards and three touchdowns to secure the stunning victory. That included a 55-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter after the Scarlet Knights gave themselves some life with a touchdown drive late in the game.

Walker has scored eight touchdown runs in the last three games and nine this season. After Chez Mellusi’s departure from the program, he was clearly ready for a full performance. It’s now clear that the Badgers’ offense runs through Walker.

Will Pauling leave the game with an upper-body injury after hauling in four passes for 49 yards and a touchdown is a concern for the coming weeks, but the fact that Locke continued to be without his No. 1 receiver, is a testament to the depth. Even though Bryson Green was out due to injury, the Badgers stayed with Anthony and Kekahuna at the back four. Additionally, Anthony has become a weekly major play just waiting to happen. He scored a 63-yard touchdown against USC, a 52-yard touchdown against Purdue and beat Rutgers by a 47-yard margin to set up the third quarter touchdown.

When Barry Alvarez said Wisconsin needed to go to Piscataway and “try hard” for a “street brawl,” he didn’t expect it to be a bust. But the Badgers took heart, limiting the country’s sixth-leading rusher, Kyle Monangai, to 72 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries (he also had a reception for five yards).

In total, the Badgers held Rutgers to 168 rushing yards while gaining 309 rushing yards themselves. Walker, of course, led the way with his 198 rushing yards and three scores. Cade Yacamelli broke off a 45-yard run in the fourth quarter and rushed for 72 yards on just four carries. Darrion Dupree had 10 carries for 26 yards and also a touchdown.

Wisconsin can’t discount Northwestern next week, but there’s a good chance they leave Evanston, Ill., with a 5-2 record heading into an Oct. 26 matchup against No. 4 Penn State ; Iowa on November 2nd; and then No. 3 Oregon on November 16th. It’s a brutal stretch, but the Badgers show enough offensive balance to be considered a worthy candidate to upset Penn State or Oregon, and there will undoubtedly be an uphill battle in Iowa in between those battles against national title contenders. If the Badgers can even split those and beat Iowa as well, they could be 7-3 heading into the final two weeks against Nebraska and Minnesota. It’s a difficult task, but the Badgers certainly have momentum.
