The Wisconsin Badgers suffered a disappointing 15-6 loss to their rivals, the Iowa Hawkeyes, on Saturday, which was prefaced by worse news on Sunday, as quarterback Tanner Mordecai was ruled out indefinitely with a broken hand.
As a result, the Badgers are going with Braedyn Locke, a redshirt freshman transfer from Mississippi State, who saw the first extended action of his career against the Hawkeyes.
Playing the entire second half, Locke completed 15/30 passes for 122 yards and an interception in the loss to Iowa, which was his second game in action this season.
