In the first quarter against the Michigan Wolverines, wide receiver Chimere Dike nearly took his first touch as a Wisconsin Badger to the house after a Scott Nelson interception set up UW. Nakia Watson scored two plays later on a two-yard rush to put the Badgers up 7-0.
Dike, a true freshman, may sound familiar because he was praised by coaches throughout training camp for his playmaking ability. With no Jack Dunn tonight, Dike is poised to take a bigger role in the offense for Wisconsin.
Another thing to take from this play is the block by QB Graham Mertz to clear the corner for Dike. Mertz is making plays for Wisconsin even without the ball in his hands.
