The senior made 11 tackles, including 1½ for a loss, in his team's 21-13 victory over Nebraska that he secured with a fourth-quarter interception at the 2-yard line. He also recorded two pass-breakups and has helped the defense not allow any second-half points this season.

GAMES TO WATCH WISCONSIN AT MICHIGAN

6:30 p.m., Saturday (Ch. 5)
