Ninth-ranked Wisconsin will be without key players on offense and defense Saturday at home against Iowa, coach Paul Chryst said Monday.
The Badgers' top receiver, sophomore Quintez Cephus, and sophomore linebacker Chris Orr have been ruled out after suffering injuries last week in a 45-17 victory at Indiana.
Cephus suffered a right leg injury early in the third quarter as he blocked on a running play and right guard Beau Benzschawel rolled into him. Cephus' 501 receiving yards and six touchdowns lead the Badgers, and his 30 catches match tight end Troy Fumagalli for the team lead.
