Wisconsin football coach Gary Andersen announced Wednesday that he has taken the Oregon State job.
The move was met with a great deal of surprise, as Andersen led the Badgers to the inaugural Big Ten West title in just his second season in Madison.
No. 18 Wisconsin lost the Big Ten championship game to Ohio State, 59-0, and will play No. 19 Auburn in the Outback Bowl.
The Oregon State position became available last week, when Nebraska hired Mike Riley to replace Bo Pelini.

When you are told to go to the academic center and study for finals and later on you hear your coach left… Wow
