2. Jalen Berger will be a star

One bright side on the offensive side of the ball for Wisconsin was freshman running back Jalen Berger. The final stat line for Berger was 15 carries for 93 yards on the ground rushing. He is a very strong and physical runner.

Just wait until he continue to gets stronger over the next few years. Berger will be giving defensive coaches around the country, and especially in the Big Ten nightmares.

Wisconsin has had many great running backs over the years. Some that come to mind are Jonathan Taylor, Melvin Gordon, Montee Ball and of course Ron Dayne.

Do not be surprised if Jalen Berger is among those names later on down the road.
