The 21 day absence is so dumb. Let the players test out of it with 3 negatives in a row. Get the heart screening. Let em back. Shouldn’t be more than a 10 day absence especially for those with no symptoms.

The B1G did this to hide the egg on their faces. They have to show they really care about the players safety by making it a longer period than everyone else.

Feel bad for Mertz. How dumb is the Big Ten's 21 day rule? Literally double CDC guidelines. And it's going to cause him to miss 3x as many games as he should.

Ok that thing was already falling apart, so its not like he dropped the whole thing and broke it. Hilarious though.

Can't embed but a post on fanduel showed they fixed it by taping a "Duke's Mayo" bottle on top of the trophy base (with red duct tape). Hilarious

Crist and co kind of screwed him there,… shouldn’t have been throwing on either of those drives. Feel a bit bad for him

Most TDs he has thrown in a game since his first game I think. Too bad they were to the wrong team.

He looked like one of the worst QBs we have faced in years. If there was any pressure, you just knew his throw would be off.

I said it in the lead into the game, I have no idea why the media almost universally gave him a pass with the COVID and shoulder injury BS. He’s legit been terrible to below average in every game except Illinois in a COVID WK 1 with whatever the B1G allowed them to practice. It never made sense.

I definitely felt bad for him by the time the last Pick 6 came up. Both came off tips it looked like, but we already had a sizable lead after the previous one. These things happen when you get behind too many though.

lol they gave him Tebow's number, poor kid.
It will never not be funny to me that Florida fans thought they were getting Hartman with a $1M NIL deal while ending up with Graham Mertz and publicly embarrassing themselves with Rashada.

Does he break the SEC record for most interceptions thrown?

Don’t see it happening there. He looked terrible against ND and threw a whole 10 passes later that year when I went with my dad to their game at Purdue. If your coaches don’t think they can trust you to beat Purdue it ain’t happening in the SEC.
