Badgers have “full faith” in QB Braedyn Locke amid Tanner Mordecai injury

The Wisconsin Badgers suffered through a multitude of unfortunate events on Saturday, dropping a crucial conference game to the Iowa Hawkeyes in a 15-6 loss.

To make matters worse, quarterback Tanner Mordecai was revealed to have suffered a broken hand that could sideline him for the remainder of the season, which forced redshirt freshman Braedyn Locke into action for the Badgers against the Hawkeyes.

Locke finished 15/30 passing for 122 yards and an interception in his first extended action as a Badger, and will have to prepare quickly, as the Mississippi State transfer will be the starting quarterback for Wisconsin against Illinois this weekend.
