Tanner McEvoy will reportedly be Wisconsin's starting quarterback vs. LSU, did you hear?! The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had the first scoop, and Madison.com has since followed with its own unnamed sources. Do you guys think it's the right call? We have a poll below. Remember, it's still very possible that we see both McEvoy and Joel Stave on the field vs. LSU.

Interesting timing, though this was in all likelihood set before Friday's news: BadgerNation ranks Stave No. 5 on their Most Indispensable Badgers list.

Speaking of Stave, he said this year's crop of tight ends has the chance to be "really special."

Madison.com has a cool database of every Wisconsin football game since 1899.

Freshman safety Lubern Figaro's been studying hours of LSU game tape, and it's put him into the starting picture.

Jake has a really nice feature on the Badgers' defense prepping for a Tigers' offense that doesn't really look much different from UW's own.
