Doing His Part

Dustin Sherer is the best Wisconsin has these days.
As recently as 10 days ago that seemed like a pretty depressing reality. But since a rough debut October 18 against Iowa where he turned the ball over twice through the air, Sherer, for the most part, has been steady.
He led the team to a victory Homecoming Weekend against Illinois and did his part in Wisconsin's quest to knock off No. 21 Michigan State.
Sherer isn't going to win the Badgers ballgames with his arm, and probably won't with his fleet-feet like an Adam Weber or Daryll Clark. He doesn't need to. He shouldn't have to.
Wisconsin's pro-style offense is designed to run the ball. The quarterback's job is to complete passes to open receivers and manage the game. Limit mistakes.
Sherer has done that. The defense on key series and today, the offensive line, haven't done their part.
Wisconsin isn't going anywhere. With no one else to go to at quarterback for the foreseeable future, depending on the development of redshirt freshman Curt Phillips, there is comfort in knowing that Sherer is.
