Manages bowl victory Wolf was 16-for-26 passing for 116 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Tuesday's 24-17 win over Oklahoma State. Impact Wolf took over under center in place of starter Graham Mertz, who entered the transfer portal following the regular season. The senior signal-caller went 4-for-7 for 24 yards over his first three series, including an interception thrown into double coverage in the end zone. However, he did bounce back with his first passing touchdown of the year late in the second quarter, hitting wide-open tight end Hayden Rucci for a 14-yard completion in the end zone. Wolf also exhibited some elusiveness in the pocket along with an ability to improvise throws from different arm angles. The redshirt senior, who went 2-for-6 for 21 yards in relief of Mertz during the regular-season finale, was given the start ahead of freshman Myles Burkett. Wolf also announced he plans to return for his final year of collegiate eligibility in 2023, according to Zach Heilprin of 1670AM The Zone Madison. However, it's still unclear how much of an opportunity he'll have to win the starting job against Burkett, incoming Oklahoma transfer Nick Evers and any additional quarterbacks that new head coach Luke Fickell manages to bring in this offseason.
