In September 2014, then-Wisconsin head coach Gary Anderson announced that quarterback Joel Stave was out indefinitely with a shoulder injury.
Well, not so much an injury. There was nothing structurally wrong with Stave’s throwing arm.
Instead, as the media would learn through more and more interviews with Anderson and Stave, the issue was not a physical injury, but rather a case of the yips.
Stave had been expected to compete for the starting role at Wisconsin during fall camp, but ultimately lost the season opening start to Tanner McEvoy. It was a strange turn of events.
