MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – The Wisconsin Badgers are turning to an alumni for help, as they make final preparations for their Las Vegas Bowl matchup with Arizona State this week.
Running backs coach Gary Brown has been dealing with a non-COVID-related illness this week, and could make the trip to Las Vegas if his health improves. However, Wisconsin has hired a former running back to lead the running back unit until Brown’s return.
Amherst native Garrett Groshek, who ironically spent time in Las Vegas with the Raiders during training camp, is reportedly serving as a temporary running backs coach for the Badgers.
During his career on the field, Groshek had 1,116 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 235 carries. He also had 79 receptions for 611 yards and one touchdown.
The Badgers and Sun Devils square off at Allegiant Stadium at 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
