UW football: Former Maryland quarterback Danny O’Brien to play for Badgers

Danny O?Brien is not Russell Wilson. O?Brien, a transfer quarterback from Maryland, made that clear after his signing with the University of Wisconsin was announced on Wednesday. College football fans can point to the obvious similarities: O?Brien left a school from the Atlantic Coast Conference and will be able to play right away in 2012, because he will graduate in mid-May. Wilson came to UW last summer from North Carolina State and led UW to the Rose Bowl in his only season.
