Mertz - not a good decision there. Kind of reminiscent of the concerns we have about Jordan Love.

Especially with a third-year QB and a running game that's been productive.
Scott Nelson simply sucks.
@MichiganPacker2 posted:Penn State's OC has clearly outschemed Leonhard in the second half. A lot of wide-open guys and easy throws.
Of course, horrible tackling helps too.
Just reupping this. Three guys go for the pump fake AND Nelson blows the deep coverage AGAIN.
Secondary has been exposed in the second half.
Leonhard's defense has gotten dominated in the second half. A mix of getting outschemed and a lack of fundamentals.

And now getting physically beaten as well.

So negative.
I let Nelson blow 4 plays before declaring his suckage.
Nelson and Mertz should be roommates
Time for Mertz to show what he can do since the Badgers canât seem to defend deep pass plays.
Run up the middle, throw a play-action pass, hope to make it to 3rd and short to convert.
I guess it's Badgers' football, but you have to get good yardage on 1st down to consistently make it work.
Nice beginning to the drive....and Nelson still sucks.
4 down territory?
How the hell is that not head to head contact? I mean, what the hell?
So much for targeting penalty WTF
That is targeting.
That was a possible penalty in 1990, let alone in 2021.
I seem to recall a couple of Badgers defenders getting that call. Seems obvious to me.
Yup, and throw him outta the gameâĶâĶðĄ
Finally being reviewed.
Buh bye 13
LoL I think Nelson got kicked out for a similar call 2 years ago
Former 5-star recruit, Logan Brown, now in the game for at least one play.
That was a sensational catch. A bullet on the throw too.
Fucking idiot Mertz hang onto the ball!!!
Mertz fucks up on the ball handling. Just awful fundamentals that should NEVER NEVER NEVER happen.
Still a chance but now need to get 8 yards instead of 3 feet.
JFC Mertz. Dudeâs giving me a heart attack.

So, excuse to be negative against a college kid, but no one can be negative about paid athletes without you pissing and moaning? Got it!
Mertz may have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. A fumble with no one near him. You'd be upset with your HS freshman team QB for that mistake.

But Mertz is getting NIL money, so we can be negative about him?
I have no confidence when he drops back.
Dumb timeout. You still had three timeouts. If you don't convert on 4th, you get a stop and you still get the ball back with 2 minutes left.
@Scott Catron posted:I have no confidence when he drops back.
More importantly, he has no confidence on most of his dropbacks.
Fuck me.
Mertz sucks.
Wow. Mertzed! Again.
Lol

You can be as negative as you want as long as you donât whine about other guys being negative. Donât be a hypocrite.
Yup itâs official. Mertz sucks. He lost that game twice in the last two minutes.
If Mertz puts any air under that ball, it's a easy TD.
What a horrible throw to top off a horrible game for him.
This is a victory with Jack Coan.
