Anticipated Return: Hurt Wisconsin quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. supposedly to make comeback imminently
Wisconsin Quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. Suffers Injury, Sophomore Danny O'Neil Steps Up
In a surprising turn of events during the Wisconsin vs. Miami (Ohio) game in Madison, Wis., starting quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. was forced out of the game due to a leg injury. Edwards, who started at Maryland last season, passing for 2,881 yards and 15 touchdowns, was attended to by multiple trainers on the field before walking to the locker room under his own power.
The Badgers managed to secure a 17-0 victory, but Edwards did not return to the game. His injury occurred in the second quarter, and he completed 6 of 13 passes for 68 yards before being sidelined.
With Edwards out, sophomore Danny O'Neil, a transfer from San Diego State, stepped into the starting role. In his debut game, O'Neil completed 12 of 19 passes with one touchdown and an interception. He was also sacked three times but showed resilience, rushing for 13 yards and a touchdown.
If Edwards is not fit for the Wisconsin vs. Alabama game on September 13, 2025, the starting players for Wisconsin have not been explicitly detailed. However, O'Neil is mentioned as the likely quarterback starter for Wisconsin around this time, indicating he could be a key player if Edwards is unavailable.
The Badgers will host Middle Tennessee on Sept. 6 in their next game, before visiting Alabama in a notable nonconference game. After their encounter with Alabama, Wisconsin will face Edwards' former team on Sept. 20 in Madison.
O'Neil's performance in his debut game has given the team and the fans a glimmer of hope. As Edwards recovers from his injury, expected to take 1-2 weeks, the team will be preparing for the upcoming games with O'Neil as a potential starting quarterback.
