Things to Watch

Injury Update
Linebacker Etienne Sabino returned to practice last week after recovering from leg surgery and missing a number of games. Sabino will join Zach Boren and Ryan Shazier at starting linebacker. Linebacker Storm Klein hurt his back prior to the Illinois game and he is still questionable for the Wisconsin game. Jordan Hall re-injured his knee and will take a medical redshirt, extending his time at OSU by one additional season. On special teams, DeVan Bogard and Najee Murray are out for the season with ACL injuries. Safety Orhian Johnson injuired his shoulder against Illinois, but he will play at Wisconsin. Running back Bri'onte Dunn hurt his knee in practice during the bye-week and will not travel to Wisconsin. Center Corey Linsley has missed practice due to a foot sprain, but is set to start on Saturday. Defensive lineman Michael Bennett is expected to play as he deals with a groin injury.

Camp Randall
The Camp Randall grounds were used as a Union Civil War training site, and it housed some confederate soldiers. The stadium opened in 1917 and is the fourth oldest FBS stadium, behind only Georgia Tech (1913), Mississippi State (1914), and Cincinnati (1916). The original seating capacity was 10,000 but the capacity now is over 80,000. Since Coach Bielema's first season in 2006 Wisconsin is 44-4 at home. In addition to a loud crowd during the game, the fans dance between the third and fourth quarter when the stadium speakers play "Jump Around" by House of Pain, a tradition that dates back to 1998.
