did Mertz get injured - he didn't play yesterday?
He's been out for the year since a month ago.
We were on our 3rd string guy while trying to upset Georgia.
Our FR backup is at least a threat, which helped us upset LSU last night.

Very telling game. The players have not thrown in the towel.   Tribute to the coach and staff.   I would keep him.

If Mertz can be as good as he was at Florida, maybe those pedestrian QBs weren't the ones at fault?

All this being said, that had to be a gut-wrenching game to watch for you bastages.  Sorry Wisconsin didn't pull it out.
Wisconsin made the mistake of trying to convert longer third downs with him. Billy wisely avoided that.

Every QB has a clunker in them. Just not every f'ing week.
He's a backup who faced defenses that are about No. 10, 2, 7 in the country by one advanced metric. A lot of UW QBs eat it against that. Maybe eat it slightly less badly, but not so little that people don't want them replaced by the end.

A lot of those prior UW QBs were handing the ball off to RBs averaging 6 ypc, to be fair.

Very true, he's a game-manager and not put in positions to make mistakes or have to carry the load on offense.  Kept his numbers great, but didn't help win games.

In 2015 Stave was handing off to a former walk-on cornerback from Milwaukee.

One of them is still in the NFL.

A lot with that 2015 offense was incredibly weird.

Marl Richt's team finished 10-3  the year he was fired.  Firing a ten win coach USUALLY doesn't work out well.

10 wins is great, until you do if a few years in a row but you can't get to 11 or 12

He's started 12 games now. He's not a backup. He's 1A. They clearly have nothing behind him. This is not OK.

The refs called this a chop block and it took away a Wisconsin 1st down

Bullshit
Someone needs to ref the referees - that's football

I can see how a ref would view that as a chop block "bang bang".  I agree it wasn't, in slomo.
