Wisconsin football fans relieved after team reaches bowl eligibility
Noticeable improvement
Team didn't quit after an awful start, they stepped up and showed heart.

Tip of the cap
A gritty Wisconsin team outscored Nebraska 24-3 after being down 14-0 early has made the Badgers bowl-eligible once again. Braelon Allen and Tanner Mordecai played injured, but like the team refused to be denied. Congratulations!

Aw, shucks
Nothing cures Wisconsin football like Nebraska football.

Rest those legs, 0
Gutsy win. It was desperately needed to stop the death spiral on the season. Allen willed that ball into the end zone those last few plays.

Gritty, some may say
The overtime TD was pure toughness and desire by Allen and the OL.

Had been a tough month
Gritty win. We’ll take it. The kids deserved one like this after some tough losses.

Yuuuuup!

Brick by brick
As ugly as it gets, but the energy they showed in the 2nd half was remarkable. They could have easily mailed it in. Maybe they can build on this going into the Axe game.

1-0 each week
Like the fight, didn’t like Longo creativity. Not sure why he doesn’t get their fast WRs involved in running game? No jet sweeps, reverses etc…Go get 8 wins this year

Can confirm. See you there!
I hear Detroit is beautiful in late December

Boom goes the dynamite!

Soon to be thing of the past?
That TD run was the type of Wisconsin football I have missed this year. Oline dominated that push.
— Brent Wegner (@brentwegner) November 19, 2023
Love that line
Gritty, not pretty. And the Bowl streak lives on!
— Dr. Horror (@popculturepsych) November 19, 2023
Results > process (tonight)
Not going for it with 3 minutes left in plus territory but then going for it in OT in a don’t-make-it-almost-definitely-lose situation is malpractice.
— Michael Drew 🍻🍻 (@MikeDrewWhat) November 19, 2023
I’m not sure this guy knows what he’s doing.
Question of the season
How do we get the intensity from quarters 2-4 to show up in the first?
— Brett Schaal (@StillVertical84) November 19, 2023
Who wants it more!? UW
This team showed me something tonight. The players wanted it!
— Tyler Chesmore (@TylerChesmore) November 19, 2023
Memorable senior night
Nice to see some heart and fight from the team tonight. Tough couple of years so good for the seniors to get a win in their final game at home.
— Kelly Ford (@kellylford) November 19, 2023
Fickell seemed relieved
At this point of the season, a win is good. Players and staff needed it.
— Scott Maeuser (@SMaeuser) November 19, 2023
All that matters
Love the win. Looks like they found their heart. Time to beat the Gophers.
— Tom Oakley (@Toakley01) November 19, 2023
For them, or the fans?
The only thing we had to play for was the bowl streak, so at least they got that going for them, which is nice.

Let 'em know

Better late than never
Really important win. Not the prettiest game, but really pleased to see the effort and want-to. Wish they hadn’t waited until game 11 to show it.
— Mike Heindl (@HeindlMike) November 19, 2023
Heart and soul?
Mordecai is a warrior.
— Andy Ryerson (@andyrye81) November 19, 2023
Long live the streak!
Excited they are bowl eligible for the streak, but the team is so frustrating and the injuries are just unreal. Fixed penalties in second half I felt at least. Need to see more screen passes when dbs back so far off or chest to box.
— Clinton Greenebaum (@CGreenebaum) November 19, 2023
What's gonna work? Teamwork!
Team showed heart. Can still see the disconnect between scheme and personnel but it was nice to see everyone on the team caring.

Win or lose ...
I’m gonna have a beer with a smile on my face for the first time in too long
— Robinson Muff-Potter (@thonnius_maker) November 19, 2023
Takes time to adjust
Ugly win but felt good in the end. Gotta think the badgers look a little better if they didnt lose so many to injuries. Hoping next year is better
— Cars and Football (@BuckyMcstuffins) November 19, 2023
They had us in the first quarter, not gonna lie
I have only praise for this effort. The way it started I thought “this is gonna be bad.” Nope! No turnovers, minimal penalties, great defense and gutsy, gutsy play by Tanner and Braelon!! Badger football is back!
— Mary Korn Erickson (@sixtiesfan) November 19, 2023
And to you as well!
Gonna smoke the Gophers now. Happy Thanksgiving

It's been a long weekend
Wait, Badger football salvaged the day for Wisconsin sports???
— N8theGr8Fan (@BdgrFan4Life) November 19, 2023
A nice reward
LOVED that they went for it on 4th down in OT! Big boy football
— Freddie (@badgermaniac74) November 19, 2023
Boom!
Best team ever

Congrats to your pockets
They covered

0 the hero
We finally showed some spine! Braelon Allen, being hurt, going to the draft, playing for nothing and going as hard as he did. All the respect to a man that loves this program!
— Ben Jones (@UpNorthBadgers) November 19, 2023
Sounds like a 'High School Musical' song
Hopefully this is the start of something good for the Badgers.
— Jim (@Bigtenman77) November 19, 2023
Could sense it postgame
The program needed that big time.

It's glorious!
Nebraska will NEVER get to hold that ridiculous Freedom Trophy! 🏆

Turkeys for everyone!
WE ARE BOWLING.
