Last game: 42-7 win @ Northwestern
Next game: Oct. 15 @ Michigan State

Well, hello there Graham Mertz! Mertz finished the game in Week 6 against Northwestern throwing for 299 yards on 20-for-29 (68.9 percent) and five (!!) touchdowns. Of course, Braelon Allen was doing Braelon Allen things with 135 rushing yards on 23 carries and this was never a contest against the Wildcats.

Now the focus turns to a struggling Michigan State squad as the Badgers travel to East Lansing to hopefully get back above .500. Since 2010, both Wisconsin and Michigan State have not been ranked when matching up just one time, with the Badgers losing that game in 2012. I’ve got a feeling this one will be utter domination by Braelon Allen and the Badgers.
