Wisconsin's QB situation appears to still be a three man race.
Joel Stave, Curt Phillips, and junior college transfer Tanner McEvoy are all competing for the top spot. The first two started a few games for the Badgers in 2012, in relief of failed transfer Danny O'Brien. "First-year coach Gary Andersen said recently Phillips and Stave had separated themselves from the others during spring practices," writes beat writer Tom Oates. Apr 30 - 5:35 PM

Joel Stave - QB - Badgers

Wisconsin offensive coordinator Matt Canada announced that freshman QB Joel Stave has been cleared to practice and play.

Badgers interim head coach Barry Alvarez named Curt Phillips the starter, but Stave was the starter prior to suffering a season ending injury at the end of October. His broken collarbone appears to be healed, so Wisconsin has a decision on who will start for the team's bowl game.

Joel Stave - QB - Badgers

Wisconsin starting freshman QB Joel Stave will miss the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone.

This is the third time that Stave has broken his collarbone, and although he possibly could have returned for a bowl game, he has decided to rest until next season. The Badgers will likely revert back to transfer Danny O'Brien to lead the offense.

Joel Stave - QB - Badgers

Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema announced Wednesday that redshirt freshman Joel Stave will get the start at QB against UTEP.

This was the expected move after Stave took the majority of first team reps all week. Maryland transfer Danny O'Brien had previously drawn all of the starts but was benched during the first half of the Utah State game. Surely coaches are hoping the youth injection at quarterback will jump start a currently putrid Badgers offense.

Joel Stave - QB - Badgers

According to Jeff Potrykus of the Journal-Sentinel, "all signs point to" Wisconsin freshman Joel Stave starting at QB for the Badgers against UTEP.

Stave reportedly took the majority of first-team reps in practice on Tuesday, leading head coach Bret Bielema to stat that the quarterback group "know what's going on." Previous starter, senior Danny O'Brien, was bench in the first half of the Utah State game after losing a fumble despite starting the first three games. The Badgers offense needs something to kick start their stagnant offense.
