Wisconsin Football offensive grades: Graham Mertz, offense sputters in 52-21 thrashing

The Wisconsin Badgers suffered their biggest loss of the 2022 campaign in their most-anticipated matchup, falling 52-21 to the Ohio State Buckeyes on a Saturday Night matchup.

Here are the offensive grades for the Badgers in Week 4:

Quarterback: C

After a fairly strong start to the season, quarterback Graham Mertz was inaccurate in an 11/20 showing for 94 yards, throwing for a touchdown and an interception as well.

While the Badgers’ offense was outmatched by the strong play of the Buckeyes’ front-seven, Mertz did the offense no favors, playing fairly conservative, electing to throw short of the sticks instead of challenging the field.
