Cephus facing felony charges

August 21, 2018 By Bill Scott

Quintez Cephus

Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus has been charged with third-degree sexual assault and second-degree sex assault of an intoxicated victim.  Both of these offenses are felonies.

Maximum penalties for the second-degree sex assault of an intoxicated victim charge is 40 years in prison and/or a $100,000 fine.  The third-degree sexual assault charge carries with it a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and/or a $25,000 fine for the second charge.

The 20-year-old Cephus is due to make his first court appearance on Thursday morning.

Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez says Cephus is suspended from competition and practice pending the “availability of further information relating to the case.”

According to the criminal complaint, UW wide receiver Danny Davis, who is Cephus’ roommate, also was present at the time and took photos of one of the women.  Davis has not been charged with any crime and has not been suspended by the university.  UW officials have had no comment about Davis’ alleged involvement.

Badgers overcome sloppy play to beat Purdue

October 15, 2017 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin Badgers extended their win streak to 12-straight games over Purdue, pulling out a 17-9 win over the Boilermakers on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.

The Badgers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) committed three turnovers and had a punt blocked but managed to pull out the victory and they have their defense to thank.

That defense, which was forced to start on a short field a number of times, held Purdue to 66 rushing yards and 221 total yards.  Purdue became the fourth UW opponent that has failed to reach 250 yards of total offense.

The Boilermakers, who had the number one red zone offense in the Big Ten entering play on Saturday, went 0 for 4.  Wisconsin started the day leading the nation in opponent red zone percentage at 33.3%.  They’ve now allowed just five touchdowns in the red zone in 19 opponent opportunities this season.

Offensively, the Badgers racked up 494 yards of total offense, the team’s highest total in a Big Ten game since piling up 627 yards against Nebraska on Nov. 15, 2014. [Read more…]

Hornibrook named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week

September 18, 2017 By Bill Scott

Alex Hornibrook

Wisconsin sophomore quarterback Alex Hornibrook has been named the Big Ten Conference Offensive Player of the Week by the Conference today.

Hornibrook set the Wisconsin single-game completion percentage record, going 18-for-19 (94.7%) in the Badgers 40-6 win over BYU on Saturday.  He threw for 256 yards and four touchdowns in the contest.

The 94.7% completion percentage was the best in Big Ten history by any quarterback attempting at least 13 passes and the fifth-best regardless of number of attempts.

The weekly award is the first for Hornibrook at Wisconsin.

Minnesota’s Jacob Huff was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week.  Michigan’s Quinn Nordin was named Special Teams Player of the week and K.K. Dobbins of Ohio State and Johnathan Lewis of Rutgers were named Co-Freshman of the Week.
