Wisconsin isn't going anywhere this season.
A bowl game seems increasingly out of reach with each passing week. No one wants to play in Detroit at the end of December, anyway.
Allan Evridge proved he couldn't get it done, leading UW to a 3-3 record. His eligibility is reaching an anticlimactic end. There's nothing left for him to prove, or do.
Dustin Sherer is terrible. He's not a Big Ten caliber quarterback. Everyone who hasn't figured that out, watch him this weekend against Illinois. View tape of last week's blowout loss to Iowa.
Still, the way it stands now, on the faint chance that Sherer can mature into something adequate, he should start.
College football isn't an affable environs for bringing up future talent. So much is at stake in a mere 12 game slate.
The Badgers need to break the rules.
Tyler Donovan used the experience gained in 2006 when starter John Stocco sat with a shoulder injury to piece together a decent start to '07. Much in the same way Matt Shaughnessy did his freshman year after injuries and inconsistencies limited Jamal Cooper and Kurt Ware. By playing the season before Donovan also reached his ceiling sooner. Week 6, against the Illini.
Sherer's time is now. The coaching staff is grooming Curt Phillips for the future. No reason to waste a year of eligibility on a lost season.
So Badger fans, prepare for the worst. It's going to be a long, long winter.
