Another Big Ten scenario: If Wisconsin goes 5-1 but beats Northwestern, and Northwestern goes 7-1 with just that loss, tiebreaker goes to Wisconsin. Badgers having avoided playing two games with the their fourth-string QB.

If it looks like that (above scenario) could happen and I was the Northwestern AD, I'd arbitrarily call "COVID-19" on my game with Cheese (like Cheese did the last 2 weeks to Nebraska and Purdue). That knocks Cheese out of the B1G CCG by only playing 5 games......:lol:

Vanden Boom started the season as the fourth string quarterback but a foot injury to quarterback Jack Coan and positive COVID-19 tests to other quarterbacks have sprung him up the depth chart. As of Monday morning, it’s unclear if Graham Mertz, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 24 will be able to play against Michigan on Nov. 14. His 21-day break from game action would end on Friday Nov. 13. With backup quarterback Chase Wolf also reportedly testing positive for COVID-19, the fate of the Badgers flailing season could rely on the former Wisconsin Gatorade Player of the Year. The son of a former All-American Badger, Matt Vanden Boom, the next generation of an internet favorite name will bring a straightforward approach to quarterbacking the Badgers.

OK, who starts at QB for Cheese Saturday vs scUM?

a. Jack Coen (maybe his foot has healed)
b. Graham Mertz
c. Chase Wolf
d. Vanden Boom
e. another player

I'll say Mertz and that the articles on Vanden Boom are just a Cheese diversionary smoke screen. In addition, I'll also say, you won't know who Cheese's starting QB will be until their offense takes the field on their 1st offensive possession Saturday.

Per Big Ten protocol, if the Kansas native is cleared by a school cardiologist he can begin an “activity progression” 15 days after his initial positive, which would have been yesterday, November 8. If each step of this progression is cleared by a team physician, Mertz can be back at practice this Wednesday through Friday in preparation for the Wolverines.
