Wisconsin is expected to turn to a freshman quarterback as it looks to recover from its first shutout loss of the season.
Ryan Hopkins is expected to make his first career start Saturday against Rutgers, CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported Friday. Starter Colton Joseph has been dealing with an injury and is not expected to start.
The report does not establish whether Joseph will be unavailable altogether, but it puts Hopkins in line for a significant opportunity with the Badgers one win from bowl eligibility.
Hopkins received an extended look during last Saturday’s 30-0 loss at Iowa, replacing Joseph after Wisconsin struggled to generate offense. The freshman completed eight of 13 passes for 93 yards and an interception. Joseph finished five of 14 for 90 yards.
