Twitter reacts to Graham Mertz opening drive TD throw to Isaac Guerendo
Needing to bounce back after last week’s embarrassing loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes, Paul Chryst and the Wisconsin Badgers came out swinging against Bret Bielema and the Illinois Fighting Illini in the Karma cup.
UW went off script, going play action on the first play of the game, completing a 19-yard pass to wide receiver Skyler Bell, setting the tone for a nearly flawless opening drive.
Graham Mertz, who quickly got into a rhythm, came out firing, going 4-for-4 on his pass attempts for 54 yards, finishing the drive with a beautiful 21-yard touchdown throw to senior running back Isaac Guerendo.
