INDIANAPOLIS — Bart Houston will indeed get the nod on Saturday night.

Wisconsin confirmed that the senior will start in the B1G Championship instead of Alex Hornibrook, who is coming off a head injury he suffered in the Minnesota game.

Paul Chryst said throughout the week that Hornibrook could rotate in with Houston, just as the two did in the last half of the season. Whether or not Houston plays the entire game is a different story.

Wisconsin still has an outside chance to clinch a College Football Playoff spot with a win on Saturday night.

The Badgers will turn to their senior, who led them to a victory against LSU in the season opener.

Kickoff is set for 8:18 p.m. ET on Fox.
