MADISON, Wis. -- To inquire about Wisconsin safety Leo Musso's official height is to brace for a qualifier before even hearing an answer.
"With or without shoes?" Musso said. "I've got to ask you that. Without shoes, 5-9, and I think it was like a third."
Teammates insist there is some question as to the validity of Musso's claim. Safety D'Cota Dixon, for example, is convinced he's 5-foot-6.
