Extra Points

Russell Wilson, who started the last three seasons at N.C. State, will use a graduate-student waiver to play at Wisconsin. His arrival gives the Badgers an experienced quarterback and could tilt the balance of power in the Big Ten's Leaders division.... Now that West Virginia has ended its awkward coach-in-waiting arrangement, don't be surprised if quarterback Geno Smith and the Mountaineers generate national buzz. If they can shock LSU in Morgantown on Sept. 24, the rest of the schedule is manageable.... The recruiting fallout from the Ohio State scandal continued last week, when offensive tackle Kyle Kalis, a 6'5", 302-pound senior from Lakewood, Ohio, decommitted from the Buckeyes and said he planned to visit Michigan. Kalis is the second recruit lost since the scandal broke.
