It may come down to turnovers when the Wisconsin Badgers take on Indiana Saturday.
The 10th-ranked Hoosiers will be playing without their number-one quarterback, but they still have a defensive front that leads the Big Ten in sacks.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Graham Mertz didn’t deal with the pressure from Northwestern very well and the Indiana “D” has forced a Big Ten-leading 18 turnovers in six games.
If Mertz looks more like his last game than his first game as a starter, coach Paul Chryst could turn to senior Jack Coan, who is finally eligible to take the first after rehabbing his injury.
