2. Wisconsin RB Tawee Walker runs for 120 yards and 2-3 touchdowns

While we do think Locke is going to take care of the ball, similar to Iowa, Wisconsin is going to have to focus on the rushing attack. That's where standout RB Tawee Walker will come into play. No, Walker isn't on the same level as Johnson, but we do think that he's going to be able to outplay him a little bit on Saturday.

Walker himself is coming off a bit of a disappointing showing in Week 9. Against Penn State, he did find the end zone, but he was held to 59 yards on 22 carries. His average of 2.7 yards per carry was disappointing, but the offensive line didn't do him many favors either. That's going to change against Iowa.

Walker's worst games of the year have come against ranked opponents. While Iowa is outside of the Top 25, this is still a massive rivalry game on the road and more than just bragging rights are on the line. With that said, look for Walker to top 120 yards and also score 2-3 times. It's going to be a fun day for him.

Coming up next: an upset win on the way for the Badgers?
