I'm skeptical of his talents and ascribe the record . . .

more to Wisconsin's consistent running game (see most recently 333 yards rushing to 73 yards passing vs. Miami in Pinstripe Bowl victory). With their annually demonstrated commitment to the running game, it's remarkable more QB's haven't prospered at WI against defenses focused on stopping the run. Would think the passing game would be a secondary concern on virtually every play. Outside of lucking into Russell Wilson for a year, the Badgers have experienced a wasteland of talent at the QB position. We'll see if Mertz is the long-overdue answer to the needs.
