Time for this week's look at the directions and success of Wisconsin's run game, as well as the targets thrown to by Badgers quarterbacks.
The running game against Purdue -- uh, when does Corey Clement return? No surprise that Alec Ingold mainly ran inside.
Meanwhile, Joel Stave keeps spreading the ball around, although Alex Erickson's team lead in targets keeps expanding each week.
Here's the key to the tables below:
LI = left inside; LO= left outside; LW = left wide (i.e. end around); MID = middle; RI = right inside; RO = right outside; RW = right wide; INT = intended receiver on an interception; LOST/PEN = a complete pass nullified by an offensive penalty; INC/PEN = An incomplete pass nullified by a penalty; D = penalty declined; offset = offsetting penalty
