In the second quarter of Wisconsin’s game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, running back Garrett Groshek answered the first-quarter touchdown by the Golden Gophers with an explosive 39-yard touchdown run up the middle.
Although the carry from Groshek was up the middle, he was able to speed through a wide-open gap created by the Wisconsin offensive line. The run game was a big question mark going into this game with Wisconsin missing both left tackle Cole Van Lanen and starting running back Jalen Berger, but Groshek has stepped up so far in their absence. He currently has 74 yards and a touchdown early in the second quarter.
The Wisconsin defense has held up pretty well despite the first-quarter touchdown from Tanner Morgan to Cam Wiley that initially put Minnesota up by seven. The Badgers are tied with the Golden Gophers 7-7 with 8:31 left in the first half.
