Luke Fickell and Wisconsin football released their availability report a couple of hours before game time against Middle Tennessee, and there was a surprise on there with Jake Renfro listed as OUT. This is not good news for the star center, who's been banged up all fall camp. Renfro was able to play the last game, but it appears he still needs time to recover.

Wisconsin's depth at center is now remarkably thin without Renfro
Jake Renfro being out means that either Luke Fickell is using the weak opponent as an opportunity to get Renfro fully healthy, OR that Renfro reaggravated his fall camp injury during the week.
