"as he replaces Danny O'Neil after the sophomore was carted off the field with a right leg injury last week. O'Neil was injured on a 21-yard keeper during the first quarter of last Saturday's 13-10 win over then-No. 23 Washington. He had a towel over his head as he was carted into the locker room. Smith made his season debut following O'Neil's injury, completing 3 of 12 passes for 8 yards while rushing for 47 yards and a touchdown."
"Also available to the Badgers at quarterback is senior Hunter Simmons, who is 48-for-95 for 485 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions this season. Quarterback issues have hindered Wisconsin all season and throughout coach Luke Fickell's three-year tenure. Billy Edwards Jr. was Wisconsin's first-team quarterback at the start of the year, but he sprained his knee in the second quarter of the Badgers' season opener and has played only one full series since. Tanner Mordecai missed 3½ games with a broken hand in 2023. Miami transfer Tyler Van Dyke tore his ACL in the third game of the 2024 season."
