The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-4) possess one of the higher scoring offenses in the ACC this season, averaging 37.0 points per game.

The Wisconsin Badgers (2-3) come into this game off a 20-17 overtime win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday.

Mertz is the player to watch for the Badgers, who has 1,108 yards, eight touchdowns, and five interceptions.
