Wisconsin Badgers QB fumbles bowl-game trophy, smashing it on floor, videos show
Who could blame Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Graham Mertz for being a little excited Wednesday after his team defeated Wake Forest in the Duke's Mayo Bowl? Mertz threw for 130 yards and no interceptions in the 42-28 win -- but while celebrating inside the Badgers' locker room after the game, he was captured on video dropping the team's football-shaped crystal trophy, shattering it on the floor. "We just wanted everybody to have a piece of that trophy," Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst joked after Mertz's post-game fumble. Wisconsin players were originally tight-lipped as to who shattered it, including Jack Sanborn, named Most Valuable Player in the contest, who exclaimed "no comment." But videos soon emerged online.
