VIDEO: Zack Baun Strip Sacks Blake Barnett and Badgers' Defense Takes it to the House Against USF
By Jerry Trotta
It would appear that the Wisconsin Badgers defense wasn't prepared to let star tailback Jonathan Taylor do all of the work against USF on Friday night. With the Bulls pinned inside their own 25, linebacker Zack Baun bulldozed his way around the edge and strip sacked South Florida quarterback Blake Barnett. The pigskin subsequently landed in the arms of defensive lineman Matt Henningsen, who stumbled into the endzone to extend Wisconsin's lead to 14-0 early in the second quarter.

Official ruling is Zack Baun sack and Matt Henningsen fumble recovery
Either way, it translates to...
TOUCHDOWN, WISCONSIN‼️

If a DL waltzing into the endzone doesn't bring a smile to your face, can you consider yourself a true football fan? Probably not.
Anyway, full credit goes to Baun on this one. His sack got the party started for the Badgers.
