WI had the ball 43 mins and PSU 17 and lost. I don’t think

I’ve ever seen that lopsided time of possession win or lose!

will go down in the anals of college football history.


Wiscy was 10-4 the season Coan started for them. Last

year and the year prior to Coan starting consistently they were 12-8.

Coan’s stats in 2019 wee 69.6% completion, 2,727 yards, 8.0 ypa, 18 TD’s and 5 INT’s

Mertz last year was 61.1% comp, 1,238 yards, 6.4 ypa, 9 TDs and 5 INT’s in half the number of games.

Wisconsin’s offense obviously is not built to highlight QB play, but the accuracy numbers jump out, as well as the yards per attempt.


This was a first for James Franklin at Penn State.

He hadn't won a true road game

Against a ranked opponent until a couple years ago.


My initial thought was:

Wow Coan must be bad, but I think on second thought that probably isn't true.


Just missed a wide open game winning TD. *

Yes, he sucks. Which means that Coan probably sucks too.

Coan could not keep his spot once Mertz took over, so I have little confidence that Coan could be any better. We will see if our veteran OC can work some magic with him.


Coan will certainly have to adjust to…

Mertz was pretty inept at it.
