12/10/22 - Keeanu Benton, Sr/2023, Wisconsin, 6-4, 309 (DS#7 DT) + More +

Nose tackle Keeanu Benton could have turned pro after the 2021 season, his third at Wisconsin. The graduate of Janesville Craig High School chose to return to UW for his senior season for two reasons: To help UW win a Big Ten title and to improve as a player. UW failed to win the Big Ten West and finished just 4-5 in the Big Ten, but Benton put together his best season with the Badgers and on Friday announced via Twitter he is entering the 2023 NFL draft. Benton could have returned for a fifth season because of the COVID year exception. "It's been an honor to be a part of this awesome university for the past four years and I have no regrets about anything I did on or off the field," Benton wrote. "I have become a man at the University of Wisconsin and consider this my second home."

Before examining the numbers Benton posted in 2022, remember how well he played in UW's double-overtime loss at Michigan State on Oct. 15. Benton suffered a right-knee injury one week earlier at Northwestern and was limping throughout the Michigan State game. Yet he recorded five tackles and when he was on the field the Spartans struggled to open running lanes between the tackles. Benton played in all 12 regular-season games and posted 4 1/2 sacks, 10 tackles for loss and 35 total tackles, all personal-best marks at UW. - Journal Sentinel

Center Joe Tippmann announced he plans to enter the 2023 NFL draft. Tippmann will not play in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. Tippmann, a redshirt junior, is the only member of the offensive line to start all 12 games this season. He has started 23 games and played in 26 at UW. Tippmann's departure means UW will be without three linemen in the bowl game. Guard Michael Furtney plans to transfer and guard Tyler Beach is preparing for the draft. - Journal Sentinel

12/07/22 - Braelon Allen, Jr/2024, Wisconsin, 6-1, 235 (DS#7 RB) + More +

Wisconsin football coach Luke Fickell lost three more players to the transfer portal on Tuesday. However, it appears sophomore tailback Braelon Allen intends to return to UW in 2023. Tailback/returner Isaac Guerendo, reserve defensive back Semar Melvin and reserve tight end Jaylan Franklin have decided to leave UW. Not long after those developments, Allen wrote on Twitter: "Sources tell me Braelon Allen is a Wisconsin Badger." Allen, a consensus second-team, all-Big Ten pick, rushed for 208 times for 1,126 yards and 10 touchdowns in 11 regular-season games. - Journal Sentinel

11/27/22 - Braelon Allen, Jr/2024, Wisconsin, 6-1, 235 (DS#7 RB) + More +

Wisconsin is bringing Cincinnati's Luke Fickell back to the Big Ten. Athletic director Chris McIntosh announced Sunday that the Badgers had hired Fickell to take over their football program after a successful run with the Bearcats. Fickell posted a 57-18 record in six seasons at Cincy and helped the Bearcats earn a College Football Playoff berth last year. The former Ohio State defensive lineman went 6-7 as the Buckeyes' interim coach in 2011 after Jim Tressel's resignation. "This is a destination job at a program that I have admired from afar for years," Fickell said in a statement released by the university. "I am in total alignment with Chris McIntosh's vision for this program. There is a tremendous foundation here that I can't wait to build upon." Fickell informed the Bearcats players earlier Sunday that he was leaving the school. A person with knowledge of Fickell's decision told The Associated Press that veteran assistant coach Kerry Coombs was being named interim coach of the Bearcats.

Fickell, 49, takes over for interim coach and former Badgers star player Jim Leonhard, who replaced Paul Chryst on Oct. 2. Chryst went 67-26 in 7 1/2 seasons. He was fired one day after the Badgers lost 34-10 at home to an Illinois team led by former Badgers coach Bret Bielema. "Luke is one of the top football coaches in the country. He is a proven winner, recruiter and developer of players," McIntosh said in a statement. "Equally as important, he shares our values. Coach Fickell is focused on giving our student-athletes the best opportunities possible and is attuned to the changing landscape of college athletics. "I have every confidence that he will respect and honor the foundation that has been set for our football program over the years while embracing the exciting opportunities ahead." Wisconsin (6-6, 4-5 Big Ten) is awaiting its bowl assignment. A loss in the bowl game would cause the Badgers to finish below .500 for the first time since 2001. - AP College Football

11/12/22 - Tanner Mordecai, rSr/2024, Wisconsin, 6-2, 210 (DS#28 QB) + More +

Tanner Mordecai threw his two touchdown passes in a 21-point third quarter and SMU became bowl eligible with a 41-23 win over South Florida on Saturday, the Bulls' eighth-straight loss. USF, which fired coach Jeff Scott and defensive coordinator Bob Shoop last Sunday, played a spirited first half under interim coach Daniel Da Prato, scoring 10 late points to tie the game at 17 at halftime. But it was the Mustangs, under first-year head coach Rhett Lashlee, who took control to earn a probable bowl trip for the fourth-straight year. The Mustangs went 97 yards in six plays with their first possession of the third quarter, taking the lead on a 21-yard pass to Rashee Rice. Their next drive was one play, Mordecai finding Jordan Kerley down the middle for a 70-yard touchdown.

SMU (6-4, 4-2 American Athletic Conference) capped the game-changing quarter with Tyler Lavine's 8-yard touchdown running after the Bulls turned the ball over on downs. Mordecai finished 19 of 27 for 280 yards. Lavine and Camar Wheaton, who scored two touchdowns in the first half, both ran for 112 yards. Kerley had seven catches for 156 and Rice six for 99. Brian Battie ran for 145 yards for the Bulls (1-9, 0-6). Katravis Marsh threw a touchdown pass to Xavier Weaver, but Marsh was taken from the field on the stretcher after lowering his head on a run with less than six minutes to go in the game. Jason Albritton ran for a score and Byrum Brown threw his first college touchdown pass, hitting Jayson Littlejohn inside the last two minutes for the Bulls. - SMU/AP College Football

Tanner Mordecai's eye-popping numbers in SMU's record-setting win over Houston were amassed in an incredibly efficient manner. The Mustangs' 77-63 win on Saturday set the NCAA record for most combined points in a regulation game, and Mordecai was responsible for 60. Mordecai became the fifth Bowl Subdivision player to throw for seven touchdowns in a half and he finished with nine, the most since Washington State's Anthony Gordon passed for the same number against UCLA in 2019. Mordecai needed only 37 attempts to achieve his feat; Gordon had 61. One of the fifth-year quarterback's eight runs also went for a touchdown, making him responsible for 10 TDs - the most since at least 2000, according to Sportradar - on just 45 total offense attempts. Mordecai has 25 TD passes on 300 attempts this season, an 8.3% rate that ranks third among quarterbacks with at least that many attempts. - AP College Football

NOV 6 WALTER CAMP NATIONAL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: TANNER MORDECAI, SMU, Senior, Quarterback, Waco, TX/Midway HS,...Tanner Mordecai set a school record and tied a Football Bowl Subdivision record with nine touchdown passes as SMU outlasted Houston, 77-63. It was the highest scoring regulation game in FBS history. Mordecai had seven touchdown passes in the first half, and finished the game completing 28-of-37 for 379 yards. He also added 54 rushing yards and one touchdown. With the victory, SMU improved to 5-4. Notes: Tanner Mordecai is the fifth SMU player to earn Walter Camp National Player of Week honors since the award started in 2004, and the first since former Mustang quarterback Shane Buechele (Oct. 20, 2019). - The Walter Camp Football Foundation

Tanner Mordecai set a school record with nine touchdown passes - seven coming in the first half - and SMU's offense exploded for a 77-63 win over Houston on Saturday. As a point of reference, Houston's men's basketball team beat SMU's 75-61 on Feb. 27. On the gridiron, their combined 140 points broke the NCAA single-scoring game record for two teams in regulation when Pitt beat Syracuse 76-61 on Nov. 26, 2016 to combine for 137 points. SMU reached school records with 77 points in a game, 11-total touchdowns, nine passing scored and 433 total yards in the first half.

The Mustangs (5-4, 3-2 American Athletic Conference) scored touchdowns on their first nine drives of the game and didn't punt until their 10th drive with 5:30 left before the end of the third quarter. Mordecai also had a 2-yard touchdown run with 8:43 before halftime for a 35-21 lead. The Mustangs needed to keep their foot on the pedal because Houston quarterback Clayton Tune did his best to keep the Cougars (5-4, 3-2) in it, throwing for seven touchdowns and running for another. Tune joined David Klingler, Jimmy Klinger and Andre Ware in Houston's seven-touchdowns-thrown-in-game club. David Klingler reached the mark on three occasions in the 1990 season and holds the all-time school record of 11 also in 1990. - SMU/AP College Football

11/05/22 - Braelon Allen, Jr/2024, Wisconsin, 6-1, 235 (DS#7 RB) + More +

Isaac Guerendo ran for an 89-yard touchdown and combined with Braelon Allen for 233 yards rushing as Wisconsin defeated Maryland 23-10 on Saturday. Wisconsin (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) improved to 3-1 under interim head coach Jim Leonhard, who was promoted from defensive coordinator after the firing of Paul Chryst last month. With rainy and windy conditions severely hindering each team's ability to throw the ball, Wisconsin's superior ground attack made the difference. Allen rushed for 119 yards on 23 carries and gave the Badgers the lead for good with a 9-yard touchdown that opened the scoring late in the first period. Guerendo ran 12 times for a career-high 114 yards, including the 89-yard score that made it 14-0 in the second quarter.

Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa entered the day having completed 72.5% of his passes to rank fourth among all Football Bowl Subdivision players, but he went 10 of 23 for just 77 yards and was sacked five times. The lone touchdown for Maryland (6-3, 3-3) came on a 5-yard completion from Tagovailoa to Tai Felton with 57 seconds left in the game. Wisconsin's Graham Mertz was 5 of 18 for 77 yards. The Badgers' defense benefited from the return of Big Ten sacks leader Nick Herbig and safety Hunter Wohler to end Maryland's string of 10 straight games in which it had scored at least 27 points. Herbig had missed Wisconsin's 35-24 victory over Purdue two weeks ago with a knee issue, while Wohler hadn't played since suffering a leg injury in the season opener. Herbig had two of Wisconsin's five sacks to increase his season total to eight. Wohler recorded Wisconsin's 15th interception of the season in the fourth quarter. Neither team got a single first down through the first five possessions of the game while dealing with the poor weather before Wisconsin broke through late in the first quarter. The rain was intermittent after the first quarter, but the wind swirled all day. - Wisconsin/AP College Football
