MADISON, Wis. — UWBadgers.com Senior Writer Mike Lucas offered his observations from No. 7 Wisconsin's 48-3 victory against Illinois at Camp Randall Stadium.

Get it straight from the source by following @LucasAtLarge on Twitter.

Did you notice? LT Ryan Ramczyk pulled and led interference for tailbacks on some big runs. Pro scouts have to love his feet and mobility.

Had success in 2 tailback sets with Bradrick Shaw & Corey Clement who was split wide & used on Jet Sweeps to influence LBers. Liked concept

Jeff George Sr might have struggled with ball-hawking defense collapsing pocket (Watt and Biegel) and capitalizing on every errant throw

Two former UW O-linemen Dave Costa & Bill Ferrario were all smiles and probably nostalgic in locker room after seeing ground n pound attack
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) November 13, 2016

There were some concerns about replacing quality safeties like Caputo & McEvoy but Leo Musso & D'Cota Dixon have answered all the questions
