Phil Longo to Wisconsin: Top 5 Storylines to Watch
1. The Impact on Braelon Allen
With Chez Mellusi transferring to UCLA, Braelon Allen became Wisconsin's clear-cut RB1. Longo's arrival could alter Allen's role, as Longo has a history of utilizing multiple backs in his offense.
2. The Development of Graham Mertz
Mertz has shown flashes of brilliance but has also struggled with consistency. Longo's offensive system, known for its high-tempo pace and emphasis on passing, could provide Mertz with a more favorable environment to succeed.
3. The Offensive Line's Adjustments
Longo's offense requires an offensive line that can pass protect and create running lanes. Wisconsin's offensive line has been stout in the run game, but they will need to improve their pass protection if Longo's system is to reach its full potential.
4. The Integration of Transfers
Wisconsin added several transfers this offseason, including receivers Skyler Bell and Nick Singleton. Longo will need to find ways to integrate these players into his offense while maintaining balance and chemistry.
5. The Big Ten Championship Implications
Wisconsin is looking to return to the Big Ten Championship Game for the first time since 2019. Longo's offense has the potential to be explosive, which could give the Badgers a significant advantage in conference play.
