MADISON -- The Wisconsin Badgers spent the first half of their fourth practice of the spring Sunday outside at Camp Randall Stadium before spending the remainder working inside the McClain Center. To end practice, the Badgers scrimmaged for the first time this spring. Senior quarterback Joel Stave improved his passing after a bit of an underwhelming performance on Friday.

Wisconsin ran about 40 players during the scrimmage, as snaps were spilt between Stave, junior Bart Houston and sophomore D.J. Gillins at quarterback.

Stave unofficially finished 13-of-18. He completed 8-of-11 passes in 7-on-7 work and all three of his pass attempts in the 11-on-11 sessions, and led the offense in three of the six series during the scrimmage, completing half of his passes (2-of-4). He was also sacked on the first series at quarterback.

Houston received two series during the scrimmage. He unofficially completed three of his five passes, with his one incompletion being a drop by sophomore wide receiver Krenwick Sanders in the end zone. Houston finished 5-of-8 in 7-on-7 drills. Gillins also completed 5-of-8 throws as well in the 7-on-7 work, finishing practice 6-of-10, unofficially.
