Wisconsin Dinged Up

[Knight Shift]

Wisconsin will be without center Dan Voltz for the remainder of the season and it is uncertain whether wide receiver Robert Wheelwright will return this season.

Chryst also confirmed he does not expect guard Ray Ball, a fifth-year senior, or redshirt sophomore tackle Hayden Biegel to return this season.

Quarterback Joel Stave, who left the Illinois game after suffering a concussion, is listed as the starter on the team's depth chart.

Clement's status is unknown, but does not seem likely:

Hope our D-line can play well if they are dinged up.

Hope our D-line can play well if they are dinged up.

There is an opportunity. Of greater concern is our offensive line against their D-line.

At this time of the year every team is dinged up. We have plenty of guys on the injured list too.

No team in the country has had more attrition than Rutgers this season.

Wheelwright is an awesome name for a WR.

Considering we scored 0 points against them last season (at home, opponents only shutout!), our offense vs their defense should be a concern....

How do you approach a wounded animal ? Carefully. :cop:

Here's the problem: those guys aren't on their #8 D (which has given up an average of 4PPG at home this season...).

Wisconsin is very close. Three starting OLs, starting WR, and I'd be surprised if Stave plays (concussions are almost never better enough to play in a week).

Wisconsin is very close. Three starting OLs, starting WR, and I'd be surprised if Stave plays (concussions are almost never better enough to play in a week).

4 things:

- Stave does NOT have a concussion (was tested and passed all tests for "concussion-like" symptoms...) and every indication is that he's their #1 on Saturday

- Kansas managed 350 yards on our D with their OL. My guess is Wisconsin's 3rs string is as good as theirs lol!

- does Clement come back (finally) this week? Probably won't know until pre-game.

- does Tanner McEvoy, for whatever reason, have a big game against us (on both sides of the ball)?
