Badgers fans react to spectacular pick-six
After what was a relatively quiet first half for the Badgers, the Camp Randall crowd was sent into a frenzy when cornerback Ricardo Hallman picked off Rutgers quarterback Gavin Wimsatt with 20 seconds to go in the first half, returning the ball 95 yards for a touchdown. The score gave Wisconsin a 17-0 lead going into halftime.
It was Hallman’s third interception in the last game and a half after he picked off Purdue quarterback Hudson Card twice in Wisconsin’s 38-17 win two weeks ago. He’s now up to four interceptions this season.
Here are some of the best reactions to his pick-six on X (formerly known as Twitter):
