Taylor, who had just 11 carries and fumbled twice in the loss to Northwestern last week, got loose for 208 yards and three touchdowns on the day. Wisconsin has started slow for most of the season, but that didn&#8217.

I know it's a win , but it is Rutgers, should blow these guys out of the stadium. Can't believe how atrocious our qb play is . Hopefully Mertz Will be able to play right away. Not alot of innovation in our offense

Mertz can play right away but if the WR position stays as is it will not matter
 
We need long rangy, speedy WRs to create problems for defenses. If we get them, and we can get one step up at QB, we could be a top 10 team. I don't see us being in a league with Alabama unless we catch lightning in a bottle with a couple of WRs and Mertz being a lights out first round NFL draft type from the day he steps on campus.
