The University of Wisconsin football team is scrambling to prepare for a home game against Fresno State Saturday after a large number of players came down with flu-like symptoms this week.
Dennis Helwig, director of sports medicine at UW, met with the media Tuesday night and would only confirm a number in the “low double-digits.”
Other reports had the number much higher. Brian Wozniak, a freshman tight end, wrote on Twitter.com just after noon that 45 players were out.
