Graham Mertz is entering the transfer portal.

Mertz was a four-star recruit in the 2019 recruiting class. Expectations were through the roof everyone thought that Mertz was going to lead this team back to prominence and playing in important bowl games. Didn’t quite happen. Inconsistency from Mertz and an outdated offense should have tempered those expectations a little bit. For sure Mertz didn’t play well in stretches but Wisconsin also did him … Continue reading Graham Mertz is entering the transfer portal.

Wisconsin bounces back with 35-24 dominating performance vs Purdue.

There was no way Wisconsin was losing this game. After dropping a tough double-overtime loss to Michigan State last week, Wisconsin came out firing on all cylinders in the first half. Fueled by a 29-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Graham Mertz to redshirt freshman Skylar Bell, you just had an idea this was a different Wisconsin team from last week. Safety John Torchio put the … Continue reading Wisconsin bounces back with 35-24 dominating performance vs Purdue.

Here are some takeaways from the game: The inconsistency of Graham Mertz continues to plague this team: Graham Mertz can make all the throws, but it’s been … Continue reading Wisconsin loses double-overtime thriller to Michigan State.

Wisconsin fires Paul Chryst after eight seasons.

It was time. Yesterday’s 34-10 loss to Illinois showed that a change needed to be made at head coach. Paul Chryst’s message of “we have to do better”, had fallen on deaf ears and his offensive scheme had grown stale over the past two years. Wisconsin was going to make this move if teams like Illinois, Iowa Rutgers Maryland and Illinois were doing things such … Continue reading Wisconsin fires Paul Chryst after eight seasons.

Badgers hit a low point in the Paul Chryst era with humiliating loss to Illinois.

Wisconsin football in a nutshell this year: I’m embarrassed to be a Wisconsin fan right now. After suffering an embarrassing 34-10 loss to Illinois.

CJ Stroud throws five touchdowns; as Ohio State throttles Wisconsin 52-21

A few words to sum up the game. Wisconsin had no shot to beat the Buckeyes on Saturday. A stark talent difference, a better coached team and Ohio State wearing their all-black uniforms signaled trouble for the Badgers. But the start of the game was promising. Ohio State fumbled the opening kickoff and had to start from their own 12-yard line but that didn’t matter … Continue reading CJ Stroud throws five touchdowns; as Ohio State throttles Wisconsin 52-21
