A surprise scratch from Saturday’s game vs. the Northwestern Wildcats, redshirt senior tight end Troy Fumagalli did not play due to a left leg injury.
Wisconsin Badgers head coach Paul Chryst noted that it wasn’t until Friday night that it was decided Fumagalli probably wouldn’t play.
“He had been practicing through the week, obviously not a ton, so there was an idea that we weren’t sure,” Chryst said after the Badgers’ 33–24 win. “He was maybe going to go or maybe wasn’t going to go, so we had the opportunity to work on a lot of things without Troy, as well, in practice.
