Wisconsin names Ryan Hopkins starting QB for Rutgers game after injury

Wisconsin football will start freshman Ryan Hopkins at quarterback against Rutgers on November 7. This decision comes as senior Colton Joseph is sidelined due to an undisclosed injury that prevents him from starting, though he may be available in an emergency role. The team looks to spark its struggling offense after a recent loss to Iowa, where Joseph's performance had raised concerns. Head coach Luke Fickell expressed a desire to evaluate Hopkins, who has played in three games this season and showed promise despite limited action. The Badgers seek to improve their offensive performance as they prepare for this crucial matchup.
