In a story we reported here earlier this summer, Wisconsin’s Montee Ball was physically attacked by then unknown assailants. While Ball was not seriously injured, those who attacked him had got away unscathed. That all changed today.

According to ESPN.com, three University of Wisconsin students have been charged in attack on Badgers’ running back Montee Ball.

Wendell Venerable, Robert Wilks and Deonte Wilson appeared in Dane County Circuit Court on Monday where a judge continued their signature bonds. A criminal complaint says Ball was kicked and punched Aug. 1 as he walked in Madison. The complaint says a friend interrupted the attack when she threw herself over Ball on the ground.

Prosecutors say witnesses identified the three men, all 21, by looking at surveillance video from a nearby apartment building. WKOW-TV reports witnesses told investigators they heard the attackers say they planned to target football players in retaliation for a previous fight at a party when one of them was hurt.

Via Madtown Badgers  |  September 18, 2012

It appears that, despite the struggles of the big men up front, the approach of the running game is that of an old-school Badgers’ squad. Here is a brief, unofficial, look at the direction of Wisconsin’s 43 run plays (not including the two sacks) against Utah State...

Badgers' Doe short in stature, long on talent

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  September 19, 2012
MADISON, Wis. Scan Wisconsin's entire 113-man football roster, and not one player comes close to matching the diminutive stature of 5-foot-8, 170-pound wide receiver Kenzel Doe. Backup defensive backs stand 5-11. Even the team's starting place kicker is 6-1, 193 pounds. But Doe possesses several qualities that make him stand out in a crowd. "Small guy but big heart...
