Huskers93-97 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It will be pretty apparent if we still have reports today, wed, and thursday of neither being at practice. Nor if anyone sees them getting on the team plane/bus. 1 Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Nebraska needs to be prepared for anything. Also- if UW does have to play a 4th or 5th string guy, I'm not putting an asterisk on anything. Nobody cared that we started Andrew Bunch when we lost to Troy in Frost's first year, nobody cared when we had to play Vedral last year against Indiana. Or Ryker Fyfe or Ron Kellogg III etc etc etc. Go play the game. Their defense is still elite and their OL will provide a stiff challenge for our offense. We better be prepared for an even more physical game than this past week. 7 Quote Link to comment

CornBro86 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 With our Secondary's play last week I'm not expecting much more improvement but that being said I would like to see a pass rush generated to put some heat on a backup QB who is starting on the road. Also, are the WR Corps on a milk carton yet??? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

If Wisconsin has to go with a fourth stringer let's hope it builds confidence for the secondary Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Dodd reporting Mertz tested positive a second time, and he's out for the next three weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Man that is brutal for the kid. I hope he gets through things quickly and returns as soon as he can. Talk about the ultimate high and low in a few days for him. Next question is how many total positives and do we have a game still. 1 Quote Link to comment

ECisGod Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Looks like the third string QB may have to sit too. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/wisconsin-qb-graham-mertz-tests-positive-covid-19-a-second-time-after-breakout-start-will-be-out-for-21-days/ Quote Link to comment

Ok so apparently I missed the memo - are there rules in place to decide if the game will happen? Is it a minimum # of players testing positive? 1 Quote Link to comment

It states if the Badgers have to rely on their 4th string QB Nebraska will have to forfeit the game to Wisconsin. 1 Quote Link to comment
