When it comes to the Wisconsin Badgers' injury report, it's quantity over quality.
There may only be two players listed as questionable, but losing both cornerback Javan Robinson and wide receiver Malachi Coleman could change everything against No. 15 USC.
Robinson and Coleman appeared on the initial Wisconsin vs. USC availability report which was released by the Big Ten on Wednesday, Oct. 21.
Running back Nate Palmer has been listed as doubtful, offensive lineman Austin Kawecki is probable, and CB Cai Bates has already been ruled out.
For reference, the Trojans will be without six players for sure, and then they have another three questionable and two probable.
Austin Kawecki upgraded to probable. However, Malachi Coleman and Javan Robinson appear

Wisconsin's defense has been tremendous this season, and Robinson doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Offensively, Badgers fans haven't forgotten about Coleman's Week 1 touchdown at Lambeau Field against Notre Dame.
UW had just 66 passing yards a week ago, but if they want to start trending in the right direction, Old Dominion transfer Colton Joseph knows he needs No. 4 on the field.
