Grading Wisconsin’s win over Arizona State in the Las Vegas Bowl

It wasn’t always pretty, but Wisconsin got enough done on the offensive end to edge out a win. Graham Mertz, like always, showed some promise and made just enough happen in the pass game to move the chains. An early interception was negated by a touchdown to Jake Ferguson and some tough throws to Chimere Dike and Skyler Bell in the second half put the Badgers in a position to win.

Braelon Allen looked like a 17-year old who just had a month off, and he ran wild over the Sun Devils. A lot of his damage came in the first half, but Allen finished with 165 yards on the ground and helped the Badgers control the game in stages, with the help of the defense was enough.
