3. Daniel Parr racks up more passing yards than Alex Hornibrook

Alex Hornibrook threw for nearly 250 yards and three touchdowns last week. Florida Atlantic quarterback Daniel Parr threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns vs. Navy. De’Andre Johnson ended up not taking near as many snaps as Parr.

Especially if Wisconsin jumps out to an early lead, Florida Atlantic will throw the ball a lot. Hornibrook should only play a limited role in this game. It took the Badgers a while to shake off the rust in Week 1. It won’t be the same in Week 2.

Expect Parr to throw for more than 300 yards. He might not rack up more touchdowns than Hornibrook, but he will definitely have more passing attempts. Even against a solid Wisconsin secondary, Kiffin will find a way to get the ball to his talented receiving corps.
