Wisconsin reportedly makes decision on starting QB for Minnesota game

Wisconsin is looking to get to eight wins, and it appears the Badgers will get their starting quarterback in the lineup for the season finale.

According to ESPN reporter Olivia Harlan Dekker, Alex Hornibrook will return to the starting lineup against Minnesota. Jack Coan has started the previous three games after Hornibrook sustained a concussion.

Part of the decision appears to be the redshirt status of Coan. He replaced Hornibrook in one game and started the last three, meaning he would not be able to redshirt if he appeared in a fifth game this season.

Either way, the Badgers would love to have Hornibrook back for the Golden Gophers.

Can confirm Alex Hornibrook will start for the Badgers today (Jack Coan has started last 3). If Coan plays at all today or in bowl, would lose option to RS)
