If there were ever a universal truth about Wisconsin Football, it’s that quarterback play needs to take a significant step forward next year.
There’s no better time to make this argument than now, right after a true freshman quarterback led the Clemson Tigers to a national championship over the monstrosity that is the Alabama Crimson Tide. Trevor Lawrence was given snaps here and there in the early part of the season but eventually named the full-time starter. It proved to be the right choice.
I’m not stating that Graham Mertz is as good as Trevor Lawrence or the Badgers are as good as Clemson.
