TAMPA, Fla. _ The mental snapshots Anthony Davis has left in his wake during the past four-plus years at the University of Wisconsin, like so many would-be tacklers strewn on the football field, are vibrant, powerful and lasting:

A 208-yard, three-touchdown effort in a loss to Minnesota to close the 2001 season, his redshirt freshman year.

A determined 154-yard effort in a loss to Michigan in 2002, two weeks after being stabbed in the thigh during a domestic dispute with a former girlfriend.

A 301-yard, five-touchdown effort in a victory over Minnesota in the 2002 regular-season finale to secure a bowl berth for Wisconsin.

A compilation effort of 414 yards and four touchdowns in Weeks 1 and 2 in 2003, when Davis appeared to be a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate.

The last image UW fans have of Davis, one that could turn out to be the most lasting, is that of the senior tailback standing on the sideline in Kinnick Stadium, out with a thigh injury in the regular-season finale, as the Badgers saw their Big Ten Conference title hopes die with a 30-7 loss to Iowa.
