What Should Bucky Want Out of Austin Peay?

There have been a lot of problems with Wisconsin football already this season, but one of them is quite obvious...injuries.

The Badgers have already lost Chris Borland for the season, and Nick Toon as well as David Gilreath have missed significant time as of late. The last thing that Bucky needs coming out of the Austin Peay game is more injuries.

Yes, the Badgers do need to get some solid work in against the Governors; the last thing they need is more injuries to a team that is becoming less and less deep as the weeks go by. Without Borland the defense has lost a significant player, and the offense has looked sluggish without Gilreath and Toon.

While you don't necessarily want Toon and Gilreath to play against an FCS school that Wisconsin should roll over, you don't want anyone else to be injured either.

If the Badgers come in and dominate the Governors like they should; the back-ups should be in by the third quarter. The injuries to Toon and Gilreath have given a load of playing time to wide recivers that are lower on the depth chart, but injuries to the recievers filling the void would also eliminate the depth Wisconsin would have when Toon and Gilreath come back.

Bucky needs to get in and get out against Austin Peay, and keep players like John Clay, Scott Tolzein, and Lance Kendricks on the sidelines in the second half. To be honest it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep Mike Taylor, J.J. Watt, and Jay Valai on the bench either.

The Badgers do need to work on a lot of small things in this game, but one thing they do need to work on is staying healthy. Especially with Michigan State and a trip to East Lansing just a week away.
