He's faster than Jackson. I think he covers well. He did take a bad angle on the KR TD. LOTS of people though misjudged that kid's speed last year. It happened in their bowl game too as I recall. There's a reason Smith-Marsette is listed by several rags as a "player to watch" for the NFL draft. He has elite speed.
Mertz has the rona

I think he plays hard, very hard. But he has had some huge mistakes, due to lack of discipline or focus or whatever. The Colorado flea flicker comes to mind.
The great thing is that we'll get to see in the future. We've had some guys land on NFL teams that I thought had no chance and then some guys who I thought would at least make a practice squad and didn't. I guess that shows how good my football evaluations are.
Sometimes a situation like this really galvanizes a team together and they will play much harder than they normally might.
the problem for wisconsin is for the first time in years they don't have a stud rb. they only averaged 3.4 ypc against illinois last week. ilinois was 104 in rush defense last year
Hope this is not a reverse case for us of the 1994 Nebraska vs Kansas State (3rd string Turman-ator feeding the ball to LP).
It's going to get cancelled. No way Wisconsin is going to go into the game with their 4th stringer. They will make up some ********.
Cancel ours then Wisconsin should have to cancel the two games after ours and not be eligible for the West Division race.
This game is setting up to be either a huge launching point (even if their QBs are out) or an epic humiliation.
Problem for them is they don't have a lawrence phillips and we're better than ksu in that year
What’s the rumor that 10 other Wisconsin players also were tested for Covid?
Nothing has came out to verify that..
If that is the case Wisconsin would lose 3 games and not be eligible to play in the CCG... I don’t like the idea that the B1G put in place... I could see not playing a game but not 3 games..

Kind of feels like a no win for Nebraska. Wisconsin will still be good, but we will get no credit if we win and will yet again be a laughing stock if we lose.
Nope. Sometimes there are no great choices. We just have to win, even if the CFB world will not view it as a real win. Because the other options suck far worse.
This wouldn’t be the worse thing. WI wouldn’t be able to win the west and would still play MN and Iowa. West would be wide open, and could come down to the Nebraska vs Purdue game.
Yep. I hope if Mertz is out we just go throw a beat down that way they can cry but at least we can say look at the score. If we lose..... Oh man.
I don’t think opponents put asterisks next to the games they won when we started Andrew Bunch, Ryker Fyfe, or Noah Vedral.
If I remember correctly, I think cross division games count the same as division games as it relates to conference championship games.
Vegas is not going to change a line from -10 to +anything, just yet. They will set this new line and see where the money goes.
If they play at game time Nebraska will be a slight favorite by the spread knowing Wisconsin is wheeling out a 4th string QB..
this year will always have an asterisk next to it. some games have been played with 10-11 starters missing. its basically just playing to get the money and hope next year is closer to normal
wisconsin wants to play win or lose. if they come up with more virus they risk missing 3 games. they do no want to miss out on playing 3 games win or lose
Barry will probably find a way to have this game canceled, but still get all of his players back and ready to play again next week.
Warren is Barry's puppet.

The B1G may have an asterisk to the 2020 season if tOSU doesn’t qualify for the playoffs but who ever wins the playoffs will be national champions...
that would mean wisconsin is going to cancel next 3 games. I can't see wisconsin doing that
