Notre Dame 41 Wisconsin 13

I would have awarded the game ball to Graham Mertz the Wisconsin QB who threw 4 picks and two for TD’s – Cam Hart got 2 and Jack Kiser an Drew White each had a pick six sealing the game.

Chris Tyree had a big kick return for 96 yards that really triggered the ND resurgence. The whole defense played great especially when Wisconsin was 3rd & 4th short. Really good play by ND’s front 7 especially the D linemen.

I’d give another game ball to ND’s punter Bramblett who consistently backed up Wisconsin deep in their territory.

Once again the ND OL was awful especially the LT and RG. Kristofic played well at LG but I would switch him to RG and insert Rocco Spindler as LG. They were raving about him all Spring and summer. He was a very highly rated recruit and barring an injury he needs to play this year.

QB situation is worsening every game with Jack Coan getting battered until he got hurt and left the game. I like Drew Pyne. – cocky, self assured and he can pass. If he was 6’2″ he would have started this year. It’s a perfect chance to replace Coan who is injured.

Finally some good game highlights:
