For John Clay, it was as simple as a three carry, 52 yard performance against the Michigan Wolverines in 2008.

For both highly touted recruits, it was that breakthrough game where they became less like an abstract scouting report and more like a true contributor to the Badgers' backfield. For Montee Ball, it came last week with 115 rushing yards and two touchdowns in Bloomington that helped his team escape with a narrow 31-28 victory.

For the first four games of the 2009 season, Wisconsin quarterback Scott Tolzien looked like a bona-fide Big Ten star quarterback. For the last three, however, Tolzien has looked the part of a first-year starting quarterback facing elite competition for the first time in his college career.
In the last two seasons, the Badgers have not been quite able to shake off their first loss. In 2008, the team fell three more times after its first defeat, and in 2007 it followed its first setback with a 31-0 trouncing at the hands of a middling Penn State team.
