Montee Ball ran for three touchdowns and Wisconsin scored 42 consecutive points in the second and third quarters to roll past visiting Indiana, 83-20, in a Big Ten game on Saturday.

Ball, subbing for No. 1 running back John Clay, who didn't play because of a knee injury, scored on a 1-yard run to put Wisconsin ahead for good. White then ran 30 yards for a touchdown before Ball scored for the third time on a 8-yard run for a 31-10 lead with 2:20 left in the half.

Tolzien hit Nick Toon on a 4-yard pass in the final minute of the half, and Tolzien added two scoring passes in the third quarter, a 2-yarder to Jake Byrne and an 11-yarder to Lance Kendricks.
