It's been a wild ride for senior quarterback Joel Stave in his time at Wisconsin.
After redshirting his first year in Madison in 2011, Stave competed for the starting quarterback spot against upperclassmen Danny O'Brien and Curt Phillips in 2012. Though O'Brien ultimately won the job, Stave replaced the Maryland transfer in the third game of that season against Utah State and went 4-1 until a collarbone injury against Michigan State sidelined him for the rest of the year.
Stave had to endure his second quarterback competition in 2013, facing Phillips and JUCO transfer Tanner McEvoy before he was named the starter.
