Oh my goodness, good morning, good afternoon, whatever it is for you, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

My name is Zach Schomler.

This is strong opinion sports episode 297. seven hope you're having a fantastic day

last night I watched Wisconsin play I don't need to say a lot about it but basically in case you missed it

Wisconsin has this red shirt freshman quarterback Graham Mertz who is...

It's a breath of fresh air because for so long I have been infuriated watching Wisconsin football because they're this great program that runs the ball so well

They play solid defense they basically

Forever have had everything except for a

quarterback since the Russell Wilson era and that one year with Russell Wilson

Wisconsin has not had a quarterback. Finally it appears like Wisconsin has a

efficient quarterback who can make the right reads

send the ball the right direction make big plays when he needs to.

He had that big touch on before a half time. I'm just like, so LSU in Wisconsin have been two football teams that you know in college

football that have driven me nuts for a long long time where I've been sitting

there going can this you know can this program just get a quarterback we're one game in, Wisconsin beat the crap out of the,

what is it, Illinois football team, 45 to 7.

We'll see how he does against better competition,

but I am so happy. I think Wisconsin finally has a quarterback. He's a

registered freshman Graham Mertz learned that name. I am so happy to say that and

be able to just watching him play and do well he was like he had he was

like 20 something for 20 he had won incompletion on the entire day which is just

unbelievable to me uh... gram mirtz is a name you need to know he emerged on Friday night as a really awesome looking quarterback
