Wisconsin has two games left to play this season and are already out of the running for the Big Ten West title.

With that, the Badgers can’t make it to the Big Ten Championship. Needless to say, this season hasn’t gone as planned.

There are a few different reasons for this, but part of it has been QB play. Alex Hornibrook, a junior, is the assumed starter, but he’s missed two games this season due to concussion issues.

Now, he’s about to miss his third:

As Tom Oates tweeted, Hornibrook is not traveling with the team to the game against Purdue. Jack Coan will be making his third start at QB.

So far this season, Coan has completed 58.6 percent of his passes for 2 TD and 2 INT. Wisconsin-Purdue can be seen on BTN with the start time set at 3:30 p.m.
