The Wisconsin offense had many high and lows last season, much like the play of redshirt freshman quarterback Graham Mertz who dealt with injuries during the turbulent 2020 season.
Despite his struggles, Mertz showed many signs of a bright future last season, and he even cracked the top 15 in total offensive yards per game from the Big Ten Conference in 2020. With an entire offseason under center as a starter and some time to get completely healthy, Mertz will definitely be one of the top quarterbacks to watch in the Big Ten this upcoming season.
Below is the ranking of the top 15 players in total offensive yards per game from the Big Ten Conference 2020 season. Players from Wisconsin, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, Rutgers Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Iowa and Illinois made the rankings.
