Wisconsin QB Reinjured Ahead of Michigan Game

Wisconsin (2-2) owns the nation’s top run defense, allowing roughly 50 yards per game, but its pass defense is a weakness (around 89th) as it prepares to visit No. 20 Michigan. Michigan brings a powerful, balanced rushing attack (about 253 yards per game) and a complementary passing threat, and coach Sherrone Moore expects to exploit Wisconsin’s pass vulnerabilities. Wisconsin starter Billy Edwards Jr. reinjured his knee, elevating Danny O’Neil to the starting role; O’Neil has a 71% completion rate with five TDs and five INTs, and several other Badgers are listed with injuries, leaving multiple unknowns. Michigan QB Bryce Underwood’s selective rushing adds another wrinkle for Wisconsin’s game plan. Both coaches say the matchup will require sound execution to limit explosive runs while creating passing opportunities. The game is set for Saturday and will test Wisconsin’s defensive resilience against Michigan’s offensive versatility.
