Good God that was painful. First losing to former Badger coach Brett Bielema, to realize it’s the worst loss to Illinois since 1988 (I wasn’t even born yet), and then to watch Paul Chryst get terminated? Sheesh. Chryst gave Wisconsin some phenomenal years, but the game passed him by, and he couldn’t keep up with the new order of the NCAA’s NIL and adapting offenses. We wish him the best of luck and thank him for his dedication to his alma mater.
The offense can’t get any momentum
Graham Mertz threw two interceptions before the first half was even over and was sacked five times.
