Hornibrook's first drive key to Wisconsin narrowly avoiding disaster

Throughout the long, hot summer months, a quarterback battle unfolded inside the historic walls of Camp Randall Stadium. There was little one could do to escape the talk of who to start between Alex Hornibrook and Bart Houston, and after Hornibrook’s performance on Saturday, it appears the conversation may now be more mottled than ever.

Mondays with Rasty: Starting Hornibrook the right move

There’s nothing that gets the blood pumping quite like a full-fledged quarterback controversy as your team is about to enter the gauntlet in conference play.

Badgers avoid embarrassing loss, comeback to beat Georgia State

Badgers seeking another rout against Georgia State

Coming off a convincing win versus the Akron Zips, the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) wrap up their non-conference schedule this weekend with a contest against the Georgia State Panthers (0-2).

Young players seize opportunities in blowout games

Unless chaos abounds, the Badgers should handily defeat the Georgia State Panthers this Saturday. Just like in the game against Akron, UW will be ahead by a lot in the second half, and again they’ll give a number of second- and third-stringers some playing time.

Thursday Thoughts: Year of the Badger? UW sports poised for runs

Let’s put the cart way before the horse, just for the fun of it.

Fumagalli battles adversity to lead Badgers

To the casual Wisconsin fan, after losing Alex Erickson to the NFL, there really wasn’t any receiving threat left on the Badgers. Against LSU, however, Troy Fumagalli showed them that they were dead wrong.

Peavy’s smooth hands help Badgers glide past Zips at the Camp

Saturday was a day full of impressive individual efforts leading to overall team dominance, as the Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Akron Zips 54-10. When trying to pick a MVP from a game like the Badgers’ victory over Akron, one can more or less just choose a name at the top of any positional breakdown and one wouldn’t necessarily be wrong. Corey Clement’s first 100-yard-plus performance in a long while, Bart Houston’s 92.5 quarterback rating, nearly the entire defense—all would be legitimate selections as the most valuable performance in the Badgers’ win.

Big Ten separates from rest of the country

The Big Ten was the story of week two as the top four teams won by a combined score of 195-44. After a shocking win over then-No. 5 LSU, the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers solidified their place in the top tier of college football with a 54-10 walloping of Akron. It would have been easy for the Badgers to lose their focus following such a huge upset, but instead they outperformed expectations at the expense of the Zips.

Mondays with Rasty: Wisconsin impressive in win, but Houston must be smarter

There was nothing particularly remarkable or enthralling about Wisconsin’s 54-10 win over Akron in Saturday’s home opener at Camp Randall Stadium. But considering how other ranked teams fared during Week 2, a low-stress win over an inferior opponent isn’t something that should be taken for granted.
