Bucky's 5th Quarter · Oct 24, 2020
GAME NOTES: No. 14 Wisconsin 45, Illinois 7
Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports Here are some final game notes from Wisconsin’s win over Illinois on Friday night.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Graham Mertz tied Tanner McEvoy for the the most consecutive pass completions in a single game, with 17. McEvoy set the record in 2014, against Western Michigan.
17 consecutive completions is also the third-longest streak in a Big Ten conference football game.
Chryst compliments Graham Mertz's poise: You never know quite how someone is going to react in their first start, but I thought he was himself.
