Luke Fickell knows he's running out of time and the ability to get wins in this brutal schedule. Danny O'Neil hasn't proven to have the magic to get it done. Fickell is now turning to his third-string quarterback, Hunter Simmons, versus Michigan. It was said that have was competing with O'Neil for that backup spot, but eventually O'Neil won out.
Now, a few games into the season with not much hope on the horizon, Fickell is hoping that Simmons can provide the juice that Wisconsin needs to knock off the Wolverines in Ann Arbor.
Wisconsin will start Hunter Simmons at quarterback at Michigan today, per ESPN sources.
