BadgerBlitz.com looks at the early snap count totals and grades from Pro Football Focus regarding the defense after Wisconsin's win over Purdue in Week 6.
Writer's note: Snap counts and number of plays are based off of PFF's current counts as of Oct. 13
SNAP COUNTS AND PFF GRADES
DEFENSIVE LINE:
Curt Neal: 32 (69.2)
Ben Barten: 29 (69.5)
Elijah Hills: 29 (72.9)
Brandon Lane: 18 (51.0)
Dillan Johnson: 11 (66.6)
Cade McDonald: 18 (59.5)
Notes:
Curt Neal led the way with 32 snaps, but it was still his second-lowest total of the season. With six players hitting double-digit snaps, the Badgers had a nice revolving door in the defensive trenches in Piscataway. Dillan Johnson's 11 snaps tied the second-most the freshman has played this season. Brandon Lane has now seen double-digit snaps for the third straight week.
