MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez says he hopes to have a replacement for coach Gary Andersen before the 17th-ranked Badgers’ bowl game Jan. 1. Andersen is leaving for Oregon State. Alvarez says Wisconsin seniors asked him to coach them at the Outback Bowl against Auburn, and that he would make that decision soon. Andersen replaces Mike Riley, who left the Pac-12’s Beavers to accept the head coaching job at Nebraska after the dismissal of Bo Pelini. Oregon State finished this season 5-7 and had two conference wins, but one came at home against then-No. 7 Arizona State. Meanwhile Wisconsin running back and Heisman Trophy finalist Melvin Gordon is skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft. Gordon has run for a Big Ten record 2,336 yards going into the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1, when the 17th-ranked Badgers will face No. 19 Auburn. Unlike the departure of coach Gary Andersen for Oregon State, this move was expected in Madison.
