Tom Oates: Ball?s assault unlikely to affect team?s focus

There were some lonesome players Sunday at the University of Wisconsin?s football media day at Camp Randall Stadium. At the beginning anyway, many of the Badgers sat alone on the chairs that were scattered around the field while reporters had Heisman Trophy candidate Montee Ball surrounded. Only it wasn?t Ball?s Heisman chances that reporters were asking about. It was the concussion the senior tailback suffered Aug. 1 when he was brutally attacked by five males while walking to his campus-area apartment after a night out with friends.
