One of the biggest headlines heading into the Wisconsin – Notre Dame matchup is former Badgers quarterback Jack Coan now being the starter for the Fighting Irish.
On Monday, Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst was asked about Coan and provided his insight on the now Notre Dame quarterback and the matchup itself, per Buckys5thQuarter.com.
“I think that as you watch and you see, I mean there’s obviously enough difference… different team. He’s always going to work and continue to work to improve and I think certainly there’s a storyline. I think it’s important that it’s Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame. Obviously we have respect for Jack, and appreciate who he is as a person and player here, a teammate… but it’s Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame.”
As for his own quarterback, Graham Mertz, Chryst is hoping he's able to distribute to all his wide receivers against the Fighting Irish.
“You always want to have enough ways that you can spread the ball around, and then the game will dictate, a little bit, where it goes or to who it goes to… You want to be able to attack the field, different spots on the field and with different people. Some games play out that way more than others.”
In a game that could get circled back to at the end of the year when playoff spots are being decided, it will be a massive matchup at Solider Field in Chicago when Wisconsin takes on Notre Dame on Saturday.
