Wisconsin Expected to Start Danny O’Neil at No. 20 Michigan as Billy Edwards Jr. Remains Limited

Reporters indicate Wisconsin will start Danny O’Neil with Billy Edwards Jr. still limited by a knee sprain.

Overview

CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reports Edwards is not expected to start at Michigan, with O’Neil likely to open at quarterback.
Edwards suffered a knee sprain in Week 1 against Miami (OH) and left the Maryland game after re-aggravating the injury.
Wisconsin hoped the bye week would help, but the team now aims for a possible Iowa return only if Edwards is fully ready.
O’Neil enters completing 70.6% of his passes for 640 yards with five touchdowns and five interceptions against a tougher front.
O’Neil said he took most first-team reps this week, and pass protection is a concern with center Jake Renfro’s status uncertain.
