Russell Wilson is the next subject of the Throwback Thursday series. Although he was only in Madison for a year, he played his way into Badger lore. One of many reasons Wilson is so memorable is because he wasn’t a traditional Wisconsin football quarterback.
In his lone season with Wisconsin, he led the Badgers to an 11-3 record and a Big Ten Championship.
He had plenty of help from the three-headed monster in the backfield that included Montee Ball, James White, and Melvin Gordon. He also had Nick Toon and Jared Abbrederis catching passes on the outside.
