Foot injuries can be tricky so I'd lean toward him not being available for their game with us. Yes, Mertz hasn't played much and did have several offers from top programs. While he played very well in San Antonio, he will not have the relative talent at WR at this level of competition he had then. They have very high high hopes for him.
No surprise. They are pinning a lot of hope on him....even though their receiver group won't scare a good secondary. I do think he's their best shot a CFP appearance, so again, the clock has started.
I feel confident saying they'll never make the college football playoff in the next 10 years. I'll resign my account if they do. The 3 Badger fans around here feel free to screen shot this.
Considering many of their fans feel QB is a big reason that they haven't, I play along....even though there are a few more areas they need an influx of top end talent in.
I think getting Wisconsin and OSU early helps. Yeah having cupcakes to open up are nice to work out some stuff but I think having better teams might make camp a little more focused and have more meaning. Have to be ready from the jump
Before Cephus there was Jazz Peavy, before Peavy it was Alex Erickson, before Erickson it was Jared Abbrederis. They have always had one really good receiver that makes you go, "if only he would graduate Wisconsin can't throw anymore", and then they get replaced like clockwork. I am sure we will see who's next in due time.
