Video: Wisconsin Strength Coach Brady Collins Jumps in Lake After Northwestern Win

Wisconsin football was given some extra motivation to claim Saturday's 23-3 road victory over Northwestern.

Strength and conditioning director Brady Collins told the Badgers he would jump into Lake Michigan should they win in Evanston, per Matt Fortuna.

Video shows Collins fulfilling his promise after the win.

Collins joined the Badgers staff in January 2023 after seven seasons with Cincinnati. He coined the term "squat fest" for his annual celebratory final day of spring workouts.

Running back Tawee Walker recorded 126 rushing yards, while quarterback Braedyn Locke continued to step up for injured starter Tyler Van Dyke by recording two total touchdowns and an interception in the victory over Northwestern.

Wisconsin improved to 4-2 with the victory win, which marked the program's third straight victory over a Big Ten opponent. The Badgers previously defeated Purdue and host Rutgers by a combined score of 94-13.

The Badgers have yet to win over a ranked team this season, marking their only losses against No. 4 Alabama and No. 13 USC.

Wisconsin's toughest matchups of the season are yet to come with home games against No. 3 Penn State and No. 2 Oregon slated for later this fall.
