it's the biggest topic surrounding the packers-49ers preseason game tomorrow night, aaron rodgers after sitting out the first two preseason games, rodgers will finally take snaps in a game situation. for him it might not be a huge deal. however, for some of his teammates, it means an awful lot. "i think it's crucial, it's very important. you don't have any time to waste. every game in this league matters. no matter who you play or when the game is played during the season, so it's important to get those reps in practice or preseason, whenever we can." in madison, there's finally an answer. with just 9 days to go until the badgers at lambeau field, senior bart houston has been named the starting quarterback for that game. he had been battling redshirt freshman alex hornibrook for the job before head coach paul chryst made his decision.

and talking of connecting with aaron rodgers again. 16:14:57 it was good; obviously it's something we have to get used to and be back together. he throws the ball different and a lot harder and faster than a lot of guys; so get used to that and starting to build back that chemistry toward week one". 16:15:09 16:29:33 "he's our most experienced receiver. one of the most experienced on the team just in general; so his head, having him out there is kind of fun". 16:29:45 the other significant news out of training camp is that jc tretter has been named the starting center. corey linsley's been hamstrung by that lingering hamstring injury. combine that with tretter's having an excellent camp- and it was an easy call. ironic, because tretter lost his job to linsley when the latter was hurt two years ago,. unlike the pack, who don't play their home opener until september 25th, paul chryst's badgers open at lambeau field against 5th the 3rd. the big question remains.and mum's the word... will it be redshirt freshman alex hornibrook, or the veteran bart houston?
