UW football: If Devin Smith were healthy, would Badgers have gone undefeated?

Did Devin Smith?s broken foot cost the University of Wisconsin football team a shot at a BCS title? Badgers coach Bret Bielema hinted strongly that was the case during a radio interview Wednesday on ESPN Madison radio?s “Jump Around” program. Smith, a cornerback, suffered a season-ending broken left foot against Oregon State in the second game of the season, his redshirt junior year. At the time, it was known to be a big setback. But when the Badgers? shot at an undefeated season ended on consecutive losses at Michigan State and Ohio State in which the secondary was burned for touchdowns in the closing seconds, Smith?s loss was magnified.
