Mertz is feeling it today. Just scary.

Can't allow 3rd and 16 conversions and win. Just can't.
The only third down conversion we've stopped was the pick.

Killer 1st on 3rd and 16, why is Pinton kicking off?

There was holding there!!!!!
These receivers are so open, Mertz doesn't need to be accurate. There were three open receivers on that 3rd and 15.
We need more pressure on the QB, but honestly, Mertz is playing like an NFL QB right now. He's throwing perfect balls.
Obvious hold on that 3rd down completed pass.
Those were actually exciting plays though instead of watching it slip through our hands so many times this season.
Another play where we were not lined up in the backfield at the snap. Frustrating. They are also calling no holds on their OL. Two plays where they’ve been grabbing at someone about to get Mertz.

Unless our secondary tightens up or graham mertz sprains his shoulder I think we are done for.
Pinton doesn't have leg Griffin does.
Blatant holding on the RT on that play.

Our kickers stink
Just a wee bit of a Hold. But it is Wisconsin.

Clear “let’s protect the big name program” non-call. I hate B1G refs.

Is this the worst broadcast you’ve ever seen? Camera so tight can’t even see the play
Our vaunted “D” is not looking so vaunted . . .
Reminiscent of Aaron Rodgers vs the Bears
Gonna be tough to win today if Mertz is throwing like this. We need more pressure but he is playing well. only incompletion was that ball Witherspoon deflected for the INT. He has made some nice throws. Tied after 1Q though. Better than last year.
The direction seems a bit off. They cut to commercial in the middle of the announcer's sentence. Came back 30 seconds later to the same shot of the Wisconsin TE on the ground.
My ears are bleeding from this announcer. Just absolutely brutal. My wife who hates sports even commented on it.
