Jake Kocorowski of BadgerBlitz.com was kind enough to swing by this week and break down Wisconsin's football team prior to its weekend showdown with the Michigan Wolverines at The Big House.

The analyst provided a preview of which Badger players fans should keep an eye on, while also giving a final score prediction and a forecast of how he thinks the game will go.

• Redshirt freshman QB Graham Mertz — He put on a masterful performance in his first career start Oct. 23 against Illinois, connecting on 20 of his 21 passes for 248 yards with five touchdowns and no picks. Mertz's 95.2 completion percentage that night was the best in a game in school history.

• Fifth-year senior FB Mason Stokke — He carried the ball only once in the season opener, but also served as a receiving threat by hauling in a 10-yard touchdown reception. At 6-2, 239, Stokke is a prototypical fullback in a Badger offense that is one of the few still employing the position in today's game.

• Fifth-year senior RB Garrett Groshek — He has an "OR" following his name on Wisconsin's official depth chart, with redshirt sophomore Nakia Watson being the other player who could earn the starting nod here. Regardless, both Groshek and Watson will see plenty of carries against Michigan after they combined for 132 yards on 32 attempts versus Illinois.

• Senior WR Danny Davis – He has been a staple in the Badger offense since his arrival in 2017, having played in 38 games while amassing 1,158 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. Davis reeled in two passes for 72 yards and a score Oct. 23 against Illinois.

• Fifth-year senior WR Kendric Pryor — Like Davis, Pryor has also been a mainstay in the Badgers' offensive attack, having racked up 774 yards and four touchdowns since the beginning of 2017. He hauled in three passes for 44 yards in the club's 45-7 win over the Illini.

• Redshirt junior TE Jake Ferguson — He was the team's top receiving threat in the opener, leading the squad in receptions (seven), yards (72) and touchdowns (three). Ferguson has also been one of the best all-around tight ends in the league each of the past two years, accumulating 456 yards in 2018 and 407 yards last season.

• Fifth-year senior LT Cole Van Lanen — Pro Football Focus (PFF) tabbed him as the Badgers' best offensive lineman against Illinois, rewarding him with a 76.3 grade (64 is considered average). The 41 career games Van Lanen has appeared in are the fifth most of any Badger on the roster.
