Badgers' Line Tested Against Notre Dame | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

Wisconsin’s offensive line is in a tough spot heading into their showdown with Notre Dame, missing key starter Emerson Mandell—whose absence could be costly against the Fighting Irish’s elite defense. But there’s some hope: injured giant Kevin Heywood, who’s been sidelined since fall camp, is expected to return and could provide a massive boost with his 6’9”, 320-pound presence. Still, both players missed significant training time, so Notre Dame may have already planned for this scenario. The game will ultimately hinge on how well Wisconsin’s reshuffled front can adapt—and whether Heywood can make an immediate impact against one of the nation’s top defenses.
