The Badgers trailed 21-14 before they intercepted Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman on four straight possessions to take control. After the game, Mertz was dancing with the Duke’s Mayo Bowl trophy when he dropped the football-shaped piece of Lenox crystal on top and it shattered on the locker room floor.
