CHECK IT OUT: Best pics from Badgers 24-13 win over Rutgers

Badgers start season 2-0 in Big Ten

The Badgers football team hosted Rutgers at Camp Randall for a conference matchup on Saturday in Madison, defeating the Scarlet Knights 24-13. Wisconsin got out to a 10-0 lead and Rutgers was threatening to score prior to the largest defensive play of the year for the Badgers.

While the Scarlet Knights were inside the 10 yard-line, Badgers cornerback Ricardo Hallman stepped in front of a pass from Gavin Wimsatt with less than 20 seconds left, returning it all the back for a 95-yard touchdown.

After taking a 17-0 lead into halftime, Wisconsin was able to play conservatively in the second half and take home a 24-13 victory and improve to 2-0 in Big Ten play.

Here are some of the best pictures from the game:

SEC and Big Ten lead Power Five conferences in athletic department revenue

USA TODAY Sports compiled an in-depth analysis of the Power Five’s athletic department’s revenue, and unsurprisingly, the SEC and Big Ten led the way by a sizable margin.

The saying goes that you need to spend money to make money, but in the realm of college athletics, it can work vice-versa just as easily.

When putting the landscape of college sports under a lens, the term “Power Five” gets thrown around a lot, and rightfully so. The SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Pac-12, and Big 12 conferences are home to some of the most competitive Division I programs in the country, and the revenue gap between them and other conferences is unparalleled.

But when pitting each of them against each other, just how big of a stark contrast is there when it comes to which conferences, and more granularly which schools, generate more athletic operating revenue than others?

USA TODAY Sports sought to put that answer to the test with an in-depth analysis of the Power Five’s athletic department’s revenue for the 2022 fiscal year.

As explained in the original piece, the data originates from financial reports the schools provide annually to the NCAA, which USA TODAY Sports obtained in partnership with the Knight-Newhouse Data project at Syracuse University.

The findings shed light on some distinct disparities between each of the Power Five conferences, with one’s lowest revenue-generating school nearly matching that of another conference’s average program.

The breakdown is included below, which was compiled using median values for their schools’ revenues, rather than the averages. Each conference is ranked in the order of highest to lowest:

Rutgers Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Scarlet Knights miss from the Big Ten West Division?

There aren’t any layup games for Rutgers, but missing Wisconsin and Purdue is a good thing. However, not getting Illinois or Northwestern – two teams that didn’t go bowling last year – doesn’t help.

The Scarlet Knights get Iowa and Nebraska at home, and have to go on the road to Minnesota in late October, not late November. That’s not all that bad.

In the East, they have to go on the road to face Ohio State and Michigan State, but they get Penn State and Michigan at home. The problem is November with rapid-fire big games against Michigan, at Michigan State, and Penn State.

Rutgers Football Schedule What To Know: Two non-conference games doesn’t help

There aren’t any killer games before the Big Ten season, but two of the three are on the road. If Rutgers has any dream of going bowling, it has to take down Temple on the road and enjoy the two-foot putt against Wagner.

If it can beat Boston College on the road to start the season, it should be a 3-0 start with two wins on the road to tighten the team up for what’s coming.

Rutgers Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

It’s going to take a few road upsets to get to six wins and bowling, but it’s a manageable enough slate to get those.

The timing of the games aren’t all that bad. It would’ve been nice to start out the season with more home date instead of going to Boston College and Temple, but that’s nitpicking a bit.

There aren’t two road games in a row, and there’s a good midsection of Nebraska and Indiana at home around an open date in a make-or-break moment for the season – the Scarlet Knights have to win those two.

Former Wisconsin WR Aron Cruickshank named Walter Camp Preseason All-American

Although no current Wisconsin Badgers were named as Walter Camp Preseason All-Americans, former Wisconsin kick returner and wide receiver…

Although no current Wisconsin Badgers were named as Walter Camp Preseason All-Americans, former Wisconsin kick returner and wide receiver Aron Cruickshank was named to the second team as a kick returner.

Cruickshank transferred to Rutgers after the end of the 2019 season and had an outstanding first season with the Scarlet Knights. In his first season at Rutgers, he had 671 return yards and two kick return touchdowns in addition to his contribution on offense of 239 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.

It is always great to see former Badgers doing so well, and it will be exciting to see how Cruickshank develops in his second season with the Scarlet Knights.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights College Football Preview 2021: Offense

– Well hello, offense. It’s been a while. The 2019 Scarlet Knights scored 159 points in a 12 game season – it failed to get to 17 points nine times. The 2018 team managed 162 points in 12 games and only got past 17 points once.

In just nine games, 2020 Rutgers scored more points than any previous version since 2015, and that team played 12 games. By the way, 2020 Rutgers scored more than 17 against everyone but Penn State.

With 11 starters expected back and a few interesting position battles, there’s a chance to do a whole lot more than 339 yards and 27 points per game. It all starts with …

– The offensive line has to be better. It’s the part of the puzzle that takes the longest to build back up, but Greg Schiano and his staff were able to get what they could out of what they were given.

There’s talent in place – all five starters are back – but there will be some shuffling around left tackle Raiqwon O’Neal and junior Reggie Sutton, who spent time at tackle but will likely work at guard. Now the group has to stop someone from getting into the backfield.

The running backs are there as long as the staff doesn’t forget to keep feeding Isaih Pacheco the ball. Aaron Young is a decent 205-pound option who can catch, and Jamier Wright-Collins is a young 215-pound back who can thump.

– Noah Vedral had his moments. The former UCF and Nebraska transfer threw eight picks and made too many mistakes, but he’s the guy the the team will ride with. Because of it, backup Artur Sitkowski is now at Illinois putting the pressure on Evan Simon to grow into a role. Watch out, though, for the team to be active in the transfer portal for another options.

The Scarlet Knights have receiver weapons. Bo Melton was the team’s leading receiver with 638 yards and six scores on 47 catches, and there’s too much speed and playmaking ability in Aron Cruickshank – he’s an elite return man, too – and Shaman Jones to both average under nine yards per catch. If the 6-3, 200-pound Isaiah Washington can get it going, look out.

5. College Football News Preview 2020: Rutgers Scarlet Knights Offense 3 Things To Know

– The offense that finished second-to-last in the nation in both total yards and scoring, Rutgers needs to find a positive identity under new offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson. He comes in from Oklahoma State, and he’s all but starting from scratch.

The team only scored 159 points, and 92 came in two games. You were promised there wouldn’t be any math here, but that means the O scored just 67 points over the other ten games, averaging fewer than seven points per outing.

The program has come up with ten points or fewer in 11 of its last 15 games and scored more than 21 just six times in the last 33 games – that’s not very good. But there’s a positive – at least the O returns a ton of experience.

– And the starting quarterback is … Artur Sitkowski? He was in the transfer portal, and then he wasn’t. He only threw for 429 yards and a touchdown with two picks, and then it was up to then-freshman Johnny Langan to step and and take his cuts.

Langan ran around a bit – with 391 yards and three scores – but he only threw for 840 yards and four scores with nine picks. On the way is Nebraska grad transfer Noah Vedral to throw his dual-threat hat into the ring.

A slew of targets bolted, but almost all of the top receivers from last year are back, and Wisconsin transfer and return star Aron Cruickshank will add some flash.

Bo Melton is back after leading the way with 30 catches for 427 yards and two scores, and Isaiah Washington is a big 6-3 sophomore who was second among the wideouts with 18 grabs. Also in the equation is former star quarterback prospect Johnathan Lewis, who’ll likely work at tight end.

– The offensive line is going to take a while. It was a a problem last year – Rutgers was dead last in rushing offense – and it loses two starters to graduation, C Michael Maietti to Missouri, and a few other reserves to the transfer portal. The recruiting class addressed the line a wee bit, but this part of the puzzle will take the longest to put together.

Losing flashy RB Raheem Blackshear to Virginia Tech stinks, but junior Isaiah Pacheco isn’t a bad back when he gets room to move, and sophomore Aaron Young is a speedster with a little experienced.
