Wisconsin didn't necessarily take a page out of the Michigan Wolverines' playbook, who traveled to sunny Florida for part of their spring sessions. The Badgers did, however, pack up their equipment and head northeast to practice and scrimmage inside the Green Bay Packers' Don Hutson Center adjacent to Lambeau Field on Saturday.
According to BadgerNation.com's Ben Worgull, the Badgers scrimmaged for about 75 plays, which included a 14-play drive.
B5Q wasn't able to make the trip up northeast, but here are some of the highlights via social media, including some impressive Lambeau Leaps from various Badgers.

Quarterback highlights
QBs made some nice throws today but there still isn't enough consistency from either one.
— Jason Galloway (@Jason_Galloway) April 2, 2016
Better red zone performance today for UW Houston 4-7 (3TDs/INT) and Hornibrook 3-8 (3TDs). Peavy with 3 TD catches

Bart Houston led the best drive of the scrimmage, ended with a TD run by Deal. Big boy drive: 14 plays, 98 yards. #Badgers

Hornibrook threw a 5-yd TD pass to Krenwick Sanders. Had another TD pass to Sanders at the end, and another one to Reggie Love. #Badgers

Also: a Bart Houston throw away pass left a dent in the wall at the Don Hutson Center. Wonder if the #Badgers have to pay for that...

Other highlights
Here are some unofficial stats from the #Badgers scrimmage in Green Bay today. pic.twitter.com/Kw5MfDSFjx

Leon Jacobs given a lot of carries at fullback today. Runs with a lot of power.
— Jason Galloway (@Jason_Galloway) April 2, 2016
Titus Booker continues to flash. Great inside leverage on Krenwick Sanders to break up a TD in red zone drills
— Benjamin Worgull (@TheBadgerNation) April 2, 2016
Leo Musso and D'Cota Dixon the starting safeties. Arrington Farrar had worked there last two practices
— Benjamin Worgull (@TheBadgerNation) April 2, 2016
Corey Clement and Dare Ogunbowale did not scrimmage. UW went heavy with Bradrick Shaw, Taiwan Deal and Leon Jacobs in run game
— Benjamin Worgull (@TheBadgerNation) April 2, 2016
Natrell Jamerson nearly picked off Hornibrook one rep, ended up just as a PBU. But he's been active this spring. #Badgers
— John Veldhuis (@JohnVeldhuis) April 2, 2016
Alec Ingold did take most first-team reps at fullback today, though. Austin Ramesh limited still.
— Jason Galloway (@Jason_Galloway) April 2, 2016
Thought #Badgers WR George Rushing made some plays today. Not perfect but we'll see if he can build off the day.
— Jeff Potrykus (@jaypo1961) April 2, 2016
It is early but #Badgers TJ Watt can make some plays at OLB.
— Jeff Potrykus (@jaypo1961) April 2, 2016
Two plays by #Badgers Watt in red zone stood out. First a leaping pick of a fastball and then stuffing Deal near LOS.
— Jeff Potrykus (@jaypo1961) April 2, 2016
No idea if #Badgers Leon Jacobs can help at fullback but he is a load with ball in his hands. Some tough runs 2day.
— Jeff Potrykus (@jaypo1961) April 2, 2016
#Badgers frosh TB Bradrick Shaw finally showing signs of being able to use physical tools. Showed some nice burst today
