MADISON, Wis. -- Bart Houston was sitting inside Potbelly Sandwich Shop downtown on State Street this summer when a man approached to make small talk about Wisconsin's football team. Houston knew the conversation ultimately was headed toward the topic that has percolated through town for months.
So, who's going to be the starting quarterback?
"I didn't know the guy," Houston said. "He probably knew me. Which is weird because it was right after I cut my hair. I was thinking I was going incognito for a while. But no, apparently not."
Quarterback battles dominate the college football landscape this time of year, and the Big Ten is no exception.
