Wisconsin football secured a major Big Ten win in Week 11, beating a ranked Iowa team by a wide margin. Who graded the best?

The Wisconsin Badgers hosted their Big Ten West division rivals Iowa on Saturday afternoon with a lot at stake. With a win the Badgers would claim the west division crown for the second year in a row.

Other than two pick six’s by Iowa cornerback Joshua Jackson, the Badgers absolutely dominated the Hawkeyes from start to finish in their 38-14 win in Camp Randall Stadium. Everything was seemingly clicking for Wisconsin on both sides of the ball. Let’s see how the grades reflect the Badgers performance.

The Wisconsin offensive line was dominant once again going up against a very experienced front seven that Iowa brought to the table. The Badger hogs paved the way for 247 yards rushing as a team and quarterback Alex Hornibrook was only sacked twice the whole game.

The line, anchored by sophomore right tackle Dave Edwards, controlled the line of scrimmage all day against Iowa and several times used pulling action to open up big holes for running back Jonathan Taylor.

The Badgers offensive line will have another challenge upcoming this weekend, as the Michigan Wolverines present another talented front seven.
