Now that we Beat Nebraska we are 8-3. Wisconsin has played eleven out of twelve games with Minnesota being the final game. The next game is for the Big Ten West title. If Wisconsin beats Minnesota, we will be heading to Indy to play either Michigan or Ohio State. Wisconsin is on a seven game winning streak. Braelon Allen is also on a seven game streak, but his entails rushing over 100 yards. The Badgers will go as far as Braelon will take them. Graham Mertz has really improved his playing. He doesn’t make as many stupid decisions. Mertz also is not turning the ball over as much. In the last three games, Graham has thrown one interception. Those are the type of numbers Wisconsin fans are used to.
Mertz is finally becoming the quarterback we need. A guy who can make the needed throws and stay away from stupid turnovers. Minnesota will give us a good game, but I feel like we are going to win the game. Bret Belima once said after the Big Ten Championship, “Indianapolis is feeling like Madison East”. After he said that he left for Arkansa. It does feel like, to me, that he is right. The Big ten championship game has been played ten times. In those ten years, we have played in six of them. Ohio State has been there six times too. We won two times out of six. Ohio State, on the other hand, has won four times out of six.
Wisconsin is the best team in the west. They have proved that, in these first eleven games. Now that we have only one game left, let us show them, one more time and Beat Minnesota.
