Going into Saturday’s regular season finale against Minnesota, the Wisconsin football team didn’t have much reason to be optimistic.
They were coming off a loss to Northwestern where they managed to score just seven points and rush for -26 yards. Quarterback Joel Stave had played what looked to be his worst game as a Badger, as he accounted for three turnovers and didn’t throw a single touchdown pass.
But the struggles didn’t stop there for UW’s offense, as various injuries to the offensive line caused yet another personnel switch up front, resulting in the team starting its seventh different combination of linemen in 12 games.
