Stocco has the third-most passing yards ever in Wisconsin history, and his best year came as a junior. Combine that with 33 touchdowns and just 4 interceptions, and you have the best passer to ever grace Camp Randall. The senior completed over 72 percent of his 309 attempts, averaging over 10 yards per play each time he threw the ball. Wilson had a special year in Madison after transferring from North Carolina State. So how do Badger quarterbacks of the past stack up in single season passing yards? The top-20 past quarterback seasonsĪ note that this list includes bowl numbers, and more recent players have had the opportunity to play in more games thanks to the Big Ten Championship and bowl games. Tanner Mordecai, Wisconsin’s current signal caller, put up over 7,000 yards at SMU in his last two seasons, and is on pace for 2,800 yards after two games in 2023.
While running backs have typically dominated in Madison, head coach Luke Fickell wants to modernize the offense and keep 8-man boxes away from the line of scrimmage. With a brand new air raid offense, any given Badger quarterback now figures to throw the ball more than ever.
