"The last three days have been enough for me to see": Coach Joseph confident His Top QB Is Back

“I try to be honest with you guys and not hide anything because people say, ‘Hey, we don’t know if Casey is playing,’” Joseph said. “Well, they’re going to find out after the first snap. They’re going to find out when he’s warming up. So it’s no secret. I mean, it’s football. … I’m just mad everyone thinks it’s a secret, like you have to keep it a secret, like Wisconsin is going to prepare any differently. There hasn’t been any change with the play-calling.”

“It gives you a lot of confidence right now with the offensive guys that he’s back and now we can push the ball down the field if we need to,” Joseph said. “It’s also going to make sure we get in the right plays – he’s going to be able to line the running back up. He’s your starting quarterback. You’re getting him back. We’ve been playing with our second guy and our third guy the last couple of weeks.”
