While this is good news for the team, I’m not sure rushing Graham Mertz out onto the field is a great idea.
After all, we have to worry about the future. This season was a disaster and we just need it to be over with.

The last thing Wisconsin needs to do is put Mertz in a position where he could get hurt again for a meaningless win.
That might sound harsh, but it’s also 100% true. This bowl game is a joke, and I’m not even happy we’re playing in it.
The last thing I want to see happen is Mertz get hurt.

For those of us who are addicted to the Badgers, you can catch the game at 12:00 EST Wednesday on ESPN. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that nothing happens to the face of the program.
