Who is the badgers starting qb

Is it time for the Badgers to take a look at a different signal caller before their huge matchup against Michigan on Saturday?

Speaking of Chryst: what would you like to see happen at the end of the season? Do you think Chryst should be run out of town and a new head coach hired or do you think Chryst should hire a young, exciting offensive coordinator to take over the play-calling and bring the Wisconsin offense into this decade? Voting is now closed and we have our results! Almost half of the over 2, responses we received think that Mertz should remain the starter for this week.

Again, I think this is the correct answer as Chryst has proven himself to be a well above average head coach. Thanks for participating in these polls. To learn more or opt-out, read our Cookie Policy.

Vanden Boom came to Wisconsin as a walk-on in the class. Daniel Wright and Deacon Hill round out the rest of the depth chart. Deacon Hill is an incoming freshman from Santa Barbara. Many think he will be the eventual replacement for Mertz when he leaves. This will be a good opportunity for Hill to get to campus, learn the playbook, and start adjusting to the speed of college football. Mertz went off in his first career start against Illinois, completing of passes The Wisconsin football team trounced the Illini, After that game, he cooled off a lot.

He ended up testing positive for covid while dealing with some nagging injuries throughout the rest of the season. He finished the rest of the season with 1, passing yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions. This season, with a full preseason camp as QB1 and a more consistent schedule, I think we will really get to see what Mertz can do.

The Badgers played three games in the first six weeks of the season because of positive covid tests, forcing the games to be rescheduled or just canceled.
