Badgers need to start out strong, have a super running game, Mertz needs to show he can throw guys open, and the long ball. On defense, we need to prove we can stuff the run, and put pressure on the QB. We have a solid secondary, so they can make plays.

Priority #1. Mertz needs to show the leadership needed to move this team. Essentially, this is his real coming out party. He needs to shine.

Easier said than done re: this WR group is at best average. Production needs to come out of TE and RB. Defense will be fine, depth across DL is best in years and Herbig will be a stud. LB group is ok with Sanborn but depth might be questionable
