Badgers coach Bielema officially names Sherer starting QB

MADISON, Wis. -- Dustin Sherer will start at quarterback for Wisconsin against Illinois on Saturday. After that, there are no guarantees.
Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema put Sherer atop the depth chart Monday for the first time this season, with former starter Allan Evridge listed as co-backup along with Scott Tolzien.
Bielema said he liked some of what he saw from Sherer in the 38-16 loss to Iowa, even though the junior threw two interceptions and no touchdowns in his first start of the season. He was 17-of-34 for 161 yards.
"Dustin didn't play a clean game, didn't by any means set the world on fire," Bielema said.
Tolzien, a sophomore, went 4-of-7 for 90 yards and one interception in the fourth quarter against Iowa, his first game of the season. Evridge, a senior transfer from Kansas State, didn't play after starting the previous six games.
Bielema said Sherer will be the starter for the game against Illinois, but hasn't committed to him beyond Saturday.
"He definitely knows that this week he'll have an opportunity to go out there and get himself right for a game on Saturday," Bielema said.
Affirming the change at quarterback comes as Wisconsin (3-4, 0-4 Big Ten) is struggling for answers during a four-game losing streak.

There are so many other games to bet on this week. Now, the schedule says Illinois is at Wisconsin, but that doesn't mean there aren't four different teams that could show up for this one.

I'm not touching this.

Wow, can't remember the last time I saw that many empty seats in Madison. There's got to be 5,000 empty seats in the student section, maybe more.

Ouch!

They just showed a sideline cart carrying Travis Beckum.

Very clearly swollen - damn near blue - ankle.

Announcer ponders if it is a break, if not it is surely a very bad sprain / ligament damage. This happened right around the scoring TD that allowed Wisconsin to tie this thing up.

Badgers hanging tough with illinois and just picked off a Juice Williams pass.

Travis Beckum's college career ends with a pretty gruesome injury, getting rolled up on from behind by his own player following a tackle. Word is broken tibula.

Saw the replay on BTN and it made me cringe. Sad to see it.
