Its the end of an era as Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Graham Mertz enters the transfer portal. I reflect on his career with the Badgers and why Wisconsin failed to give him much help or to develop him. We talk about his improvement this season and what this means for the quarterback room going into next season. Luke Fickell is going to need to find a veteran QB this off-season.

We move on to the Badgers bowl prep, will the younger players see more reps and why it should be Myles Burkett and not Chase Wolf starting in this bowl game. We talk about why the Badgers bowl streak is impressive and important and how Luke Fickell can use the bowl practices to jump-start his coaching tenure.

Finally on Locked On Badgers we talk about big recruiting visits from Jamel Howard and Malik Elzy and take a look at what the Badgers still need to add to their recruiting class this cycle.
