Ground game shifts into high gear for No. 6 Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. — The running game is shifting into high gear at No. 6 Wisconsin.
Coach Paul Chryst said the team’s depth at running back, which helped net 363 yards rushing and four touchdowns in 64 attempts against Illinois last week, is the key to providing more consistency for the offense.
“I really mean it when I say we’re going to need everyone this season,” Chryst said Monday. “We’ve been lucky around here and everyone who’s followed (Wisconsin football) knows how important it is to have multiple backs.”
Corey Clement is the workhorse starter, while Dare Ogunbowale is a change-of-pace and third-down back.
