Wisconsin released its updated depth chart yesterday ahead of Saturday’s crucial showdown between the 4-1 Badgers and 5-1 Iowa Hawkeyes.
Wisconsin sits atop the Big Ten West at the moment with a 2-0 conference record. Iowa lurks nearby with a 2-1 mark in Big Ten play, while the rest of the division is down at 1-2 before Illinois brings up the rear at 0-3.
The Badgers need to win this weekend. It’s a simple proposition.
The team’s aforementioned depth chart entering the pivotal contest showed no significant changes. Despite the potential returns for C Jake Renfro and DL Isaiah Mullens, neither are listed on the two-deep. That doesn’t mean the two won’t play, but we likely now won’t get a status update until Saturday morning.

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell mentioned the offensive line rotation is his Monday press conference, though didn’t give much away about what the group will look like when fully healthy.
#Badgers coach Luke Fickell was asked about three-man rotation at guard. Said they have six OL starters. Then adds “hopefully” in next few weeks that number could increase. Mentions center Jake Renfro.
