More from Coach Chryst's Thursday talk with reporters on Thursday.
Head coach Paul Chryst met with reporters prior to the Wisconsin Badgers (8-2, 5-1) practice on Thursday afternoon. Chryst confirmed redshirt senior Ray Ball was no longer with the team after his name was omitted from the list of seniors being honored during Senior Day ceremonies prior to the Badgers' last home game of the season against the Northwestern Wildcats.
Ball was in contention to start this season after being a backup for the majority of his collegiate career. Filling in the 2015 Outback Bowl after Dallas Lewallen moved to center when Dan Voltz was injured, Ball helped the Badgers run for 400 yards in their 34-31 victory.
