Wisconsin senior running back Montee Ball was the victim of what police are calling an "unprovoked assault" early Wednesday in Madison, Wis.

Ball suffered head injuries after being attacked by five men near Wisconsin's campus around 2:15 a.m. Wednesday. Witnesses told police the men knocked Ball to the ground and began kicking him. Ball, a 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist, was taken to a hospital and released later Wednesday morning.

"My concern right now is for Montee's health and well-being," Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said in a prepared statement. "Montee has been released from the hospital and is under the care and supervision of our sports medicine staff. We will continue to evaluate him as we approach the start of fall camp this weekend. I do expect Montee to make a full recovery."

According to an incident report, Ball didn't appear to know his attackers. The incident is listed only as a battery and is being investigated as an unprovoked assault.

Ball rushed for 1,923 yards and an NCAA-record 33 touchdowns last season on 307 carries. He earned Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors.

Lots of people get randomly attacked, but not robbed, by five complete strangers at 2:15 a.m. on a weeknight.

I've heard 2 as well but 12 or 1 probably makes more since. If you wait til 2, you're clearing out when the bar clears out. Now you've got all the drunks gathered in the street together and it only takes one drunk jackass to set off other drunk jackasses. Plus, every other bar is clearing out and now you're on the road with a bunch of drunk drivers. So logically, your odds of not getting in a fight and making it home safely are probably better at 12 or 1 than 2.

These "random" attacks usually involve a preceding verbal altercation. Muggers don't usually go after football players, but I guess anything is possible.

When it is 5 on 1 then it usually doesn't really matter who the 1 is. Could have started with a verbal altercation, but that doesn't mean Ball provoked anything.

Think about it for a minute.

- There were 5 unknown assailants
- Excluding Wisconsin, there are 5 other teams in the Leaders division.
