UW fullback Derek Watt ready for more action

Madison — Derek Watt probably wouldn't complain if he was given the opportunity to replay the 2014 season.

Watt entered the season expecting to line up not only at fullback, his usual position in Wisconsin's offense, but also at tight end because the staff wanted to utilize his skills as a receiver.

Those plans were scuttled when Watt suffered a broken right foot in the opener against LSU.

Watt missed the next five games before returning Oct. 25 against Maryland. He missed the Purdue game two weeks later after experiencing quadriceps tightness in warm-ups and played in only eight games overall.
