Badgers freshmen watch: Game 3

Time for another edition looking at the playing time and statistics of the younger players on the roster of the Wisconsin Badgers.

Once again, we keep track of the playing time on a week-by-week basis, but one thing to note: Wisconsin will update its participation chart from previous games as the sesaon goes along.

The latest example, after the first game Micah Kapoi was listed as having played against Alabama. After the second game, despite obviously playing against Miami (Ohio), Kapoi was listed as having played against the Crimson Tide but not the RedHawks. And then this week, Kapoit was listed as not having played against Alabama and playing vs. Miami (Ohio).

So the situation is often fluid as mistakes are caught and correct.

Here's the rundown of the playing time for the young Badgers:
