It’s a different scene here in Week 13, as Wisconsin will be without stars Will Pauling and Hunter Wohler on Saturday. Pauling has dealt with his fair share of injuries this year, while Wohler left late in last weekend’s game against the Oregon Ducks with an injury.
With Pauling out, expect Trech Kekahuna to get a bigger workload on Saturday as the top slot receiver. Additionally, with Wohler out, it could be an array of options at safety, as the Badgers could either move Austin Brown back there or look to their reserves.
But, both are crushing losses as Pauling has been quarterback Braedyn Locke’s safety blanket, while Wohler had played nearly 100 percent of the defensive snaps when on the field.
In other news, defensive lineman James Thompson Jr. is questionable for the first time. He had been out all year after suffering a torn pec in training camp, but was seen in practice videos this week.
