5. Andrew Van Ginkel records two sacks

Andrew Van Ginkel is the Badgers pass-rush specialist. He seemingly came out of nowhere in his junior season last year and recorded 6.5 sacks. Now, he’s expected to lead the defense and pace them in sacks from the outside linebacker position.

Van Ginkel only has one sack on the season so far, but look for that number to triple as he compiles two quarterback takedowns in this one.

At 6-foot-4, he possesses the ideal body frame to rush the passer from the outside. He relies on his speed to get around the edge and put pressure on the quarterback. Van Ginkel should have no issue making the signal caller feel uncomfortable in this one and will be all over the field.
