Wisconsin Football: Badgers’ 5 Most Devastating Losses In The Last 5 Years by Erik Buchinger

Wisconsin Badgers running back Corey Clement won’t take the field Saturday at Minnesota

Following a pair of citations for disorderly conduct stemming back to an incident a few weeks ago, Wisconsin running back Corey Clement will not make the trip to Minnesota for the Badgers final game of the regular season against the Golden Gophers.

Clement, who has dealt with injuries all season long, has just 29 carries for 155 yards and four touchdowns this season, a vast disappointment considering the high hopes Wisconsin fans had for him this year.

And while the injury problems are largely out of his control, this latests incident appears to have been avoidable, thus heard coach Paul Chryst’s decision not to allow Clement to travel with the team.

As expected, #Badgers TB Corey Clement won’t be playing vs. Minnesota. Not injury related, if you get my drift. — Jeff Potrykus (@jaypo1961) November 27, 2015

Intial reports from the incident suggested Clement arrived on the scene of an argument between some students and a security guard, while it has been revealed that Clement may have been the instigator and threw the first punch. That incident resulted in a cut on his hand, but that injury didn’t hamper Clement.

The two disorderly conduct citations issued following the event will indeed hamper his ability to get back on the field, as he did not travel to Minnesota and will not play in the season finale.

The Badgers will run with the trio of running backs of Dare Ogunbowale, Taiwan Deal and Alec Ingold, all of whom have seen plenty of action this season during Corey Clement’s injury-filled season.

The Badgers will be looking for a win to pad their bowl game resume, while Minnesota needs a win to become bowl game eligible.

The Badgers and Gophers kick off at 2:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
