College football notes: Badgers wide receiver Quintez Cephus has leg surgery, is out for season

Star receiver Quintez Cephus will miss the rest of the season for No. 6 Wisconsin because of an injured right leg.

Badgers coach Paul Chryst said after practice Thursday that Cephus had surgery this week.

He leads the Badgers in receiving yards and touchdown catches. The sophomore was hurt during the 45-17 victory last week at Indiana. Cephus finishes the year with 30 catches for 501 yards and six scores.

Wisconsin also remains without senior wideout Jazz Peavy because of a right leg injury.

With Cephus and Peavy out, sophomore A.J. Taylor and freshmen Danny Davis and Kendric Pryor will take on more responsibility. All three receivers have shown promise.

The Badgers (9-0 overall, 6-0 Big Ten, No. 8 College Football Playoff) play host to No. 25 Iowa (6-3, 3-3, No. 20 CFP) on Saturday.

Bret Bielema insists he's not keeping a secret about who will be Arkansas' quarterback against No. 24 LSU on Saturday.

It's a choice that would have been a no-brainer for Bielema and in the eyes of most Arkansas (4-5, 1-4 Southeastern Conference) followers at any point before Allen hurt a shoulder against South Carolina on Oct. 7.

Now, with Kelley having played well in Allen's four-game absence — including leading back-to-back comeback victories over Mississippi and Coastal Carolina — no one is quite sure who will start.

"You obviously feel great about either one of them, whoever [starts]," Bielema said.

Winona State 52, Augustana (S.D.) 21: The host Warriors (10-1, 6-1 NSIC South), ranked No. 17 in the AFCA Div. II poll, built a 35-point lead midway through the second quarter and rolled to a 52-21 victory over the Vikings (4-7, 2-5).

Jake Balliu got the Warriors started by returning the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. The Warriors also got a 78-yard interception return by Nick Pridgeon for a TD and two rushing TDs from Javian Roebuck as they opened a 42-7 halftime lead.
