Wisconsin Football Reveals Status of Braelon Allen vs. Indiana

Last week's clash with No. 3 Ohio State presented a significant challenge for RB Braelon Allen and the Wisconsin Badgers. Unfortunately, the star running back's performance was cut short just before halftime due to the lower-body injury. Prior to getting injured, Allen had 10 carries for 50 yards and two fumbles. He did not return to the game and his status for today's matchup against Indiana has been in doubt all week long. Just moments ago, Wisconsin revealed Allen's current status for the Badgers matchup against Indiana.

What is Braelon Allen's Status vs. Indiana?

After a week filled with uncertainty about Allen's availability, the official injury report from the Wisconsin football team regarding the Indiana game is finally in, and Allen has officially been ruled QUESTIONABLE to play against the Hoosiers.

Why it Matters

A QUESTIONABLE status for Braelon Allen is better than OUT, but it is still not what the news we were hoping for as today's game quickly approaches.

Should Allen be unable to take the field, the Badgers will have to place their trust in the hands of Jackson Acker and Cade Yacamelli. These two players offer limited in-game experience, as they have combined for just 36 carries total in 2023.

Allen stands as the leading rusher in the Big Ten Conference, having amassed an impressive 754 yards on 130 carries. Additionally, he's notched eight rushing touchdowns, which is second in the conference.

A Waiting Game for Wisconsin

As the game against Indiana approaches, the Wisconsin Badgers and their fans are holding their breath, hoping for positive news about Braelon Allen's condition. The outcome of this uncertainty will determine the team's performance and could potentially shape their season in terms of whether or not they will win the Big Ten West. Cross your fingers, Badgers fans!
