Ricardo Hallman's pick-6 sparks Wisconsin to 24-13 victory over Rutgers

MADISON, Wis. -- , Ricardo Hallman never got down on himself when his playing time diminished last year after a poor midseason performance. Now he's made himself into one of college football's most prolific ball-hawking defensive backs. Hallman scored on a 95-yard interception return to shift the momentum just before halftime Saturday as Wisconsin defeated Rutgers 24-13 to remain the lone Big Ten West Division team without a conference loss. “It was as big of a play as we’ve had all year,” Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said. Braelon Allen ran for 101 yards and a touchdown, and Wisconsin (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten) limited Rutgers (4-2, 1-2) to 64 yards rushing -- less than one-third of the Scarlet Knights' season average entering the day. But it was Hallman's pick-6 with four seconds before halftime that made the biggest difference.
