Lucas' Five Takes: Wisconsin vs. USC

December 31, 2015 | Football, Mike Lucas

Mike Lucas' thoughts on the Badgers' Holiday Bowl win

By: Mike Lucas

UWBadgers.com Senior Writer Mike Lucas offered his observations from Wisconsin's 23-21 win over USC in the Holiday Bowl. Get it straight from the source by following @LucasAtLarge on Twitter.

Vince Biegel capped successful night by pledging his return for his final year of eligibility in 2016. More committed than ever to Badgers

Sojourn Shelton credited Caputo, Hillary & McEvoy for nurturing him as player & grooming him as leader. Will lead young secondary next year
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) December 31, 2015

Bloody but unbowed Joel Stave put a punctuation mark on his career with the way he managed UW offense vs USC. Was rock steady in ever phase
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) December 31, 2015

On "natural" sack trick Jack Cichy beat TE cutoff block on 1st. Split center/guard on 2nd. Bowled over TB on 3rd. Rivaled Schobert vs Auburn
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) December 31, 2015

Tailback rotation played key role with Ogunbowale, Clement & Deal each contributing. Will need to lean on tailbacks while breaking in new QB
