The line on the Wisconsin vs. USC game opened at -13.5 and rose to -16. It appeared there was heavy early action (90%) on the Trojans.
Bad news for the 2-1 Badgers as Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke will miss the rest of the season, sources confirmed. Sources tell ESPN that the injury is a full ACL tear in his right knee, and the timeline for recovery isn't clear yet.
Van Dyke was hurt when he was tackled on a scramble. He clutched his right knee at the end of the run and eventually was carted into the locker room. He watched the second half from Wisconsin’s sideline while walking with crutches.
Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell didn't have any definitive word after the game regarding the severity of Van Dyke's injury.
“We'll get a little more clarity hopefully here soon, get an MRI and things like that,” Fickell said. “I don't think it looks real good for us, for him.”
Alabama destroyed the Badgers on Saturday, 42-10. It was Wisconsin's most lopsided home loss since 2008.
USC lost a close one to Michigan on Saturday, 27-24.
The Trojans (2-1, 0-1) went ahead 24-20 midway through the fourth when Miller Moss threw his third touchdown pass, a 24-yarder to Ja’Kobi Lane.
USC's last chance ended with a fourth-down throw that came up of the stick near midfield.
“I think it was just a classic, back-and-forth fight,” Trojans coach Lincoln Riley said.
