Who will play quarterback for Wisconsin?
At this point, we don't know. Billy Edwards, who considered Michigan football, before transferring to Wisconsin, suffered a knee injury in the first game of the season. He hasn't returned. With a bye week, it's possible that Edwards could return to the lineup Saturday.
That would make the Badgers' offense much more formidable. Danny O'Neil was injured against Maryland after throwing for 640 yards, five touchdowns, and five interceptions in four games. He might be back. Hunter Simmons, a transfer from Southern Illinois, completed 7 of 9 passes for 70 yards and a touchdown against Maryland, is the third option.
Wisconsin is averaging 205 passing yards per game. The Badgers are only rushing for 117.8 yards per game at a clip of 31 yards per attempt.
Michigan has been dominant against the run, so the Badgers should find some tough sledding. The Michigan pass defense has given up a few things, and if Edwards can play, that will make this matchup a little more interesting and less one-sided, at least on paper.
