The Camp Randall 100 is an exclusive list celebrating 100 people who have shaped Camp Randall Stadium's history across the realms of sports, music, culture and beyond. A new honoree will be revealed each day over the final 100 days leading up to kickoff of the Wisconsin football team's season opener with Utah State on Friday, Sept. 1. The Camp Randall 100 reveal is part of a year-long celebration of the history of the iconic stadium, which opened in 1917.
 

MADISON, Wis. — Matt Schabert played 12 games at quarterback for Wisconsin during a career that began in 2000 and spanned three star-crossed seasons.

He started one time. He took snaps in seven victories. He completed 52 percent of his passes for 618 yards and three touchdowns. He finished his time at UW with two more interceptions than touchdown throws.

Schabert didn't see a lot of meaningful action with the Badgers in large part because his timeline crisscrossed those of Brooks Bollinger, John Stocco and Jim Sorgi, who rank second, third and eighth, respectively, on the all-time list of top career passers at the school.

"Sometimes it's all about timing," Schabert said.

"As any competitor would say, you always want more, but there's absolutely nothing about anything I would have changed."

That's because when it comes to storybook moments in UW history, especially at 100-year-old Camp Randall Stadium, Schabert is very much a part of the discussion.

Read about why Schabert will always have a place in Badger lore in his Camp Randall 100 profile below.
