With senior running back Chez Mellusi stepping away from the program to focus on getting healthy, Wisconsin's backfield needed someone to step up. Enter Oklahoma transfer Tawee Walker, who has quickly solidified himself as the team’s bell-cow, seizing the opportunity to take on a more prominent role in the Badgers offense.

Wisconsin running back Tawee Walker continued his strong play during the first half of the Badgers’ Week 7 game at Rutgers. The veteran running back took 18 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown during the half of the contest as the Badgers built a strong two-touchdown lead.
