08:20 AM ET 09.18 | It seems there will be no repeat performance of a transfer quarterback lighting things up at Wisconsin -- so, let the guessing begin. Will junior Danny O'Brien be back at quarterback for the University of Wisconsin football team against UTEP on Saturday after getting yanked at halftime of the last game? Or will redshirt freshman Joel Stave, who played the entire second half of the 16-14 victory over Utah State, get his first start? UW coach Bret Bielema has made a decision, but he's not telling. He also said at his Monday news conference he will not make the quarterbacks available for interviews this week. O'Brien was benched after fumbling in the second quarter, his third turnover in two games.

Remember that UTEP pushed Oklahoma to the brink week 1. The way Wisconsin has looked, UTEP might pull the upset.

Yeah, but then Ole Mess beat them by 30....this game should be over by half-time.
