‘Off-script’ Tanner Mordecai presenting new element for Badgers offense

The Wisconsin Badgers’ offense started to click on all cylinders this weekend, scoring on each of their first three drives, while reaching paydirt via a touchdown or field goal a combined seven times against Purdue on Saturday.

While the Badgers will likely look to improve from their three field goals, it was a good sign for a Wisconsin offense that had shown signs of potential, but hadn't really put it all together.

How did the Badgers start hot? It began with an incorporation of the quarterback run, as Tanner Mordecai scored the team’s first touchdown on a designed run, which had been Purdue’s kryptonite in past weeks.
