Wisconsin QB Danny O'Neil carted off field after getting injured against No. 24 Washington

Danny O'Neil suffered a lower-body injury after a 21-yard run, forcing freshman Carter Smith to start for Wisconsin, which has faced quarterback availability issues in 23 of 34 games, coach said.

  • On Nov 8, 2025, Wisconsin quarterback Danny O'Neil was carted off after a leg injury in the first quarter, and freshman Carter Smith made his college debut Saturday in Madison.
  • Longstanding quarterback problems have plagued Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell's tenure, with the intended starter available for only 11 of the 34 games since 2023.
  • Following the play, O'Neil appeared to injure his right leg and was removed, with Wisconsin later announcing he would miss the rest of the game.
  • That loss deepens Wisconsin's depth problems as Billy Edwards Jr. sprained his knee in the season opener and the replacement quarterback suffered a major injury.
  • O'Neil, a San Diego State transfer, was making his first start since Sept. 13, after reserve appearances Sept. 20 and Oct. 18, as coaches Jeff Grimes and Luke Fickell initially turned to him.
