Impact Anthony caught the TD pass from backup Danny O'Neill, who stepped in for Billy Edwards (lower body) after he was injured. Anthony was targeted a total of eight times, and it looks like he will emerge as a potent receiving threat regardless of who is under center.

Scores late TD in Week 14 Anthony hauled in 4 of 7 targets for 39 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 24-7 loss against Minnesota.

Impact Anthony and the Badgers ended the season on the lowest note possible, as the team was eliminated from playoff contention after this loss to archrival Minnesota. The junior wideout scored Wisconsin's lone touchdown when he caught a 15-yard pass in the end zone late in the third quarter, which briefly brought the score back to 17-7. This ultimately didn't impact the game, but it marked Anthony's career-high fourth touchdown of the year. He also finishes the season as one of the Badgers' main bright spots moving forward, as he logged 39 catches for a team-high 672 yards. Anthony will look to carry this forward momentum into this coming offseason.

Logs 137 yards in loss Anthony notched seven receptions (on eight targets) for 137 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 44-25 loss against Nebraska.

Impact Anthony finally looked like the clear-cut No. 1 receiver for the Badgers with senior slot receiver Will Pauling (undisclosed) out Saturday. The junior speedster got involved at multiple levels of the passing game with multiple catches over the short-to-intermediate middle, including when he reversed upfield for a 42-yard pickup in the first quarter. He capped off his strong night by beating Nebraska's deepest defenders before catching a long ball for a 58-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. Across eight conference games, Anthony has averaged 18.2 yards on 31 catches. He'll look to make an impact in a winning effort during this Friday's regular-season finale, as the Badgers will be playing for bowl eligibility against their archrival Minnesota.

Leading receiver in bad loss Anthony accrued four receptions (on five targets) for 61 yards during Saturday's 42-10 defeat to Iowa.

Impact Anthony gained over 60 receiving yards for the fifth time in six Big Ten contests for the Badgers this season. The 6-foot junior has begun to see an expanded role beyond just playing as a vertical threat, as he's averaged 5.5 catches (on 7.5 targets) for 64.5 yards per game over the last two weeks. Anthony has also been more productive than slot WR1 Will Pauling, who caught two of seven targets versus Iowa's swarming pass defense. The Badgers may look to utilize Anthony's explosiveness when the team next plays versus No. 1-ranked Oregon on Saturday, Nov. 16.

Gets 10 targets versus Penn State Anthony logged seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 68 yards during Saturday's 28-13 defeat versus Penn State.

Impact Anthony played his most significant role of the season for what had been a resurgent Badgers' offense. The junior speedster shifted from a pure downfield deep threat to catching more passes on slants and other intermediate in-breaking routes Saturday. He also logged double-digit targets for the first time in his career, though this didn't lead to a jump in yards since the Badgers struggled to stretch the field either on the air or on the ground against Penn State's vicious defensive front. Through five Big Ten games, Anthony has now logged 16 catches (on 27 targets) for 312 yards and two touchdowns. He'll look to get open against another notoriously stout defense in Iowa this coming Saturday.
