    Many of the Wisconsin fans are depressed after seeing that. They already want to trash their coach.

    Their portal QB didn't set the world on fire and now he is hurt, so tough times in Madison. Luckily they have a manageable schedule and will still make a bowl.

    Getting eligible for a bowl is highly overrated in my book. When you only play for real games a year and you have trouble winning six?

    Completion percentage went down, of course, but it’s a little harder to defend for sure

    Could you imagine if they actually gave him time to throw?

    Lol, true. It was from his Hall of Fame acceptance speech.

    I bet he was really surprised that they let him into the hall, but he did face a lot of adversity as a younger man

    Mertz is certainly better than expected. He isn’t making mistakes and he is executing most of the plays he is supposed to. I think Napier has done a good job of calling plays within Mertz’s ability.

    That said, he hasn’t been great throwing deeper passes, and I think from time to time that has hurt us, like against KY. I’m glad this weekend he was at least able to throw some downfield with a couple of catches and a couple of interference calls.

    As to his high completion percentages this season a lot of those passes are behind the line of scrimmage. If the plays work that’s great but it is basically a successful running play.

    As I said, he is exceeding expectations and helping to make this year a respectable transition year vs the unmitigated disaster I was kind of expecting.
