Rutgers quarterback Gavin Wimsatt has thrown one interception in five games this season. Can he keep that up against Wisconsin's ball-hawking secondary?
A year after struggling mightily with interceptions, the Owensboro, Kentucky, native has cut them down significantly.
But that is more about volume — opponents have thrown passes on 58.7% of the Badgers’ defensive possessions this season, which is the sixth-highest rate in the country — as a result of a dominant rush defense and the fact they’ve held multi-possession leads in three of their first four games. For comparison, Rutgers — which led for a vast majority of its four wins and has a strong run defense — allows the 21st-highest pass-play rate nationally .
Wimsatt has avoided throwing the errant passes that proved costly last season, most notably in a second-half meltdown against Michigan in which he threw the first pick-six of his career. He did throw his second against the Wolverines this season, but that was due to the play-call and the defensive back making a play rather than a poor decision from the quarterback.in front of it, Rutgers needs to play a near-flawless game to pull it off.
