Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke suffered a right knee injury early in the first quarter of Saturday’s 42-10 loss to No. 4 Alabama.
Van Dyke was injured when he scrambled to the right sideline. He was hit as he went out of bounds, but the injury appeared to happen when he planted his right leg just before the contact occurred.
Van Dyke was visibly distraught when he was driven back to the locker room on a cart. Wisconsin said at halftime that he would be out for the rest of the game.
The Miami transfer is in his first year in Madison and started the first three games of the season for the Badgers. Van Dyke is playing his fifth season of college football after four years with the Hurricanes. His best season came in 2021 when he threw 25 TDs and for over 2,900 yards in just 10 games. He played 11 games a season ago but threw 12 interceptions and threw for 2,703 yards.
Van Dyke was replaced by Braedyn Locke. The redshirt sophomore started three games for the Badgers a season ago and completed 50% of his passes for 777 yards and five touchdowns with one interception.
Locke and the Badgers weren’t able to get much going as the Crimson Tide ran out to a 28-3 lead before Locke threw a 3-yard TD pass in the third quareter for his team’s only touchdown of the game.
He finished 13-of-26 for 125 yards passing on the day.
