It looked so awful in the moment, but there is more than a glimmer of hope that Billy Edwards Jr. will be returning to the Wisconsin Badgers sooner rather than later. CBS Sports' Chris Hummer and Richard Johnson reported on Friday afternoon that "Final word on the injury is expected [to be] in 24-48 hours. But there's hope he could be back for Alabama." That huge road game will be on Sept. 13.
While Danny O'Neil played decently down the stretch for Wisconsin in Thursday's home victory over the Miami RedHawks, that was still against a Group of Five opponent working in its new quarterback.
