The University of Wisconsin football team will start sophomore Travis Fredrick at center on Saturday, when the Badgers host their regular season finale against Penn State. Sophomore Ryan Groy was benched in the win over Illinois this past weekend, when he blew the snap on two straight plays in the third quarter. Offensive line coach Bob Bostad said quote, "the game got a little big" for Groy, who was filling in for the injured Peter Konz. Fredrick was the Badgers' No. 1 center in 2009, but he only started two games at that spot due to an ankle injury. He took a red-shirt last season. Wisconsin needs a victory over Penn State to clinch the Leaders' Division and a spot in the Big Ten title game December third with a chance to play in the Rose Bowl. The Badgers rose one spot to 16th last night in the BCS Standings with an overall record of 9-2. They also rose one place to 12th in the coaches' poll, and they remain 15th in the AP media poll. Saturday's game kick's off at 2:30 p.m. and will be televised by ABC.
