Was there a Jake Butt-Sebastian Cheeks being related joke on the TV broadcast or did I hallucinate that? #Badgers

Wisconsin is expected to start freshman Ryan Hopkins against Rutgers this weekend, a source confirms to ESPN. Starter Colton Joseph could potentially be available, but has been dealing with injuries and "not himself." It will be the first start for Hopkins, a highly regarded player from Mater Dei in Southern California. CBS first reported the change.

Honestly, this is tough as a bears fan, but this is a pretty compelling case for Jordan love winning an MVP.

Why does Caleb Williams hum between plays? It's not just a quirky habit. There's actually science behind how it helps him stay calm under pressure. @eliseedevlin explains.

“THE PACKERS ARE NOT ONE PLAYER AWAY FROM A SUPER BOWL.” @JimRutledge believes the Packers shouldn’t mortgage more of their future for a quick fix. Unless they can land a difference-maker on the offensive line, standing pat might be their best move.

“THIS WAS A PROGRAM-DEFINING LOSS.” @JimRutledge believes the Badgers’ brutal loss to Iowa was the final nail in Luke Fickell’s coffin and wouldn’t be surprised if UW moves on as soon as the regular season ends.

“EVERYTHING THIS TEAM WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH, IT’S NO LONGER IN FRONT OF THEM.” Has Luke Fickell done ENOUGH to salvage his career at Wisconsin? 👀 #Badgers
