  "account": "The Wisconsin Badgers have struggled in recent seasons, largely due to quarterback issues and inconsistency. Head coach Luke Fickell had not been able to get the most crucial position right until now. However, with the arrival of transfer Colton Joseph, Fickell sees potential for a promising future. While Joseph has not been flawless this season, he still has the potential to make a significant impact. Fickell expressed optimism about Joseph's growth and learning process following a strong performance against Penn State. In five games so far, Joseph has thrown for 1,132 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions, maintaining a completion rate of 56.6%. On the ground, he has added 262 yards and 3 more touchdowns. The opportunity for Joseph to showcase his skills will come against UCLA on Saturday, October 18th.",
  "summary": "Colton Joseph hasn’t been perfect this season and will sit far away from any Heisman conversation, he is certainly worth investing in",
