Wisconsin counting on QB Braedyn Locke’s work ethic to help him make up for his lack of experience

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Braedyn Locke is Wisconsin’s starting quarterback for the foreseeable future with sixth-year senior Tanner Mordecai out indefinitely after breaking his hand in a 15-6 loss to Iowa. “I would say there’s definitely a little bit different level of pressure, but at the same time a little comfort because you have all week to prepare,” Locke said. Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said this week “there’s nobody that’s here more, that spends more time in here in the office and breaking and watching film, and learning and studying.” “Maybe Tanner would be the only other one that pushes the envelope to you’ve got to kick them out of here,” Fickell added. Offensive tackle Jack Nelson calls the Mississippi State transfer an “extremely, extremely hard worker.” “It’s kind of just part of who I’ve always been,” Locke said.
