Both Wisconsin And Florida Atlantic Have Hurricane Concerns

The Florida Atlantic football team won’t be the only ones with a lot on their minds when they play ninth ranked Wisconsin tomorrow (Saturday) in Madison. South Florida was given its first hurricane warnings Thursday as Irma was getting closer, and seven players on the Badgers’ roster are from Florida — including senior receiver George Rushing and senior safeties D’Cota Dixon and Natrell Jamerson. The U-W has said it will do whatever’s necessary to help the Florida Atlantic personnel, which coach Paul Chryst calls “pretty cool.” Chryst also confirms that senior defensive end Chikwe Obasih is out indefinitely with a leg injury from Wednesday’s practice — and running back Bradrick Shaw is questionable with a leg injury. Wisconsin is 1-0 going into Saturday’s contest, and Florida Atlantic is 0-1.
