Hornibrook questionable for Big Ten title game

MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook is listed as questionable with a head injury for the Big Ten championship game against Penn State on Saturday night.

Hornibrook sustained the injury Saturday against Minnesota while attempting to make a throw on the run near the Gophers' sideline. Minnesota linebacker Jack Lynn appeared to hit him in the chest area with 3:19 remaining in the first half. Hornibrook did not return to the game and was replaced by fifth-year senior Bart Houston.

Hornibrook, a redshirt freshman, opened the season as the backup to Houston but took over as starter in the fourth game of the season against Michigan State.
