Old habits die hard. Once again for the Wisconsin Badgers (0-1, 0-1 Big Ten), not being able to execute offensively led to Saturday afternoon’s 16–10 loss to the Penn State University Nittany Lions (1-0, 1-0).
Over 76,000 members of the Badger faithful filled Camp Randall Stadium in the first Wisconsin home game open to fans in 651 days, according to University of Wisconsin Athletics.
After gaining an entire season’s worth of experience and learning the Wisconsin offense, Graham Mertz’s play at quarterback did not look improved.
The junior from Overland Park, Kansas threw for 185 yards and two interceptions, completing 59% of his passes.
