The Wisconsin Badgers have ended the speculation of a quarterback change early Thursday morning after announcing via Facebook Live that Redshirt Freshman Alex Hornibrook will start Saturday versus Michigan State.

Rumors began last week during the Badgers 23-17 victory over Georgia State that the plug might be pulled on starter Bart Houston after his in-game struggles. Houston was eventually benched in favor of Hornibrook, who came in and sparked the offense.

Hornibrook has thrown for 183 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in parts of two games this season.
