WATCH: Danny Davis III breaks free for Wisconsin’s longest pass play of the season

The Badgers passing game broke it open on Saturday

Wisconsin’s offense exploded against Rutgers, as the Badgers put 52 points on the board while aided by their defense. The 52-3 win set many season-best marks, including Wisconsin’s longest passing play of the year.

With the game already decided, Danny Davis III broke free from Rutgers for what turned into a 72-yard touchdown. It was Davis’ lone catch of the afternoon, and one of three touchdown tosses for Graham Mertz on the day.

For a Badger offense that has struggled to move the football through the air, Saturday was the first step in putting their slow start to the season behind them.
