Coan is currently the B1G leader in completion percentage at over 76 percent on the year. That ranks second nationally, behind only LSU’s Joe Burrow. No other quarterback in the B1G is above 70 percent on the year.
Coan has also thrown eight touchdown passes with just one interception through the first six games.
Wisconsin will now travel to Champaign to take on Illinois. In two weeks, the Badgers travel to Columbus to take on Ohio State.
