As the countdown to the first Wisconsin football game of the season continues, Badger of Honor is taking a look at Badgers by the numbers, checking in on a different Badger or Badgers players who wore the number corresponding with the remaining days until the Badgers head to Texas to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide Saturday, Sept. 5.
Next up in our countdown, signifying 51 days until college football is back, is Mike Webster.
Webster, a Rhinelander, Wisconsin native, was Wisconsin’s center from 1971 to 1973.
While the Badgers weren’t particularly good during his tenure at Wisconsin (the team went 12-21-1 from 1971 to 1973), Webster earned recognition as one of the best in the business.
