Columnist Jim Polzin asked Badgers fans on Twitter what they thought about No. 18 Wisconsin's 34-7 victory over the Eastern Michigan Eagles on Saturday night at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.
Here's what fans were saying after the Badgers bounced back from their season-opening loss with a strong showing:
Enough of that
I can't tell if the offense was intentionally bland because they were facing an inferior opponent or because this year's offense is the equivalent of sodium-free saltiness.

At least, I know I don't need to see more of Chase Wolf.
One would think
I’m no expert but you’d think they’d intentionally have him roll through his progressions and throw to 3rd option

We'd all like to know
Defense is dominant as always. Rushing game is damn good. My only concern is what the hell is going on in the red zone?

'Could' is the key word
Our offense could be successful in the Mid America Conference.

Spinning their wheels
Defense is exactly who we thought they were. Offense needs to use games like this to actually improve instead of doing what they know will get the win.

Keep calm and tweet on
Calm down it’s week 2 against a MAC team. Lol

Only time will tell
As expected. Still need to see O against a good opponent to see if things have really been fixed.

Who saw that coming?
Good to see them to work the running game into their scheme, nice wrinkle...

If only!
Can we get Matt Canada back?

Tell them what they've won ...
I think the EMU athletic department will put their $1.4 million to good use

Earning his keep
Jim Leonhard might be best DC in the country.

They've only just begun
Solid win. Offense still has a long way to go if we want to be competitive
— Wisconsin Homer (@wisconsintakes) September 12, 2021
How sweet it is
— Scott Herbst (@herbst20) September 12, 2021
Split personality
Defense - Outstanding
— Michael Martin (@mjmartin557) September 12, 2021
Offense - meh
One is never enough
more games like that please
— Hoodie Maybin (@HoodieMaybin) September 12, 2021
What a night!
Go Brewers

In the worst way
Badly needed!

Is it too much to ask?
Not a single jet sweep
— GG (@gjgmur1) September 12, 2021
Taking care of business
We won. Yay
— Josh Miller (@JoshMiller2934) September 12, 2021
Short and sweet
Dominant.

Even against the worst opponent on UW's schedule, there were positive signs to take away from its victory on Saturday.
The 34-7 win over the Eagles didn't impact the Badgers' place in the AP Top 25.
From missing on third-and-short opportunities and not using pre-snap motion, No. 18 UW's offense has a lot to examine before taking on No. 10 Notre Dame.
Milwaukee native Ralph Kurek fondly recalls scoring the winning touchdown in the closing minutes of the Badgers' last win over Notre Dame in football, which came in 1963.
Whether you are heading down to Soldier Field or watching from the comfort of your couch, the State Journal has Badgers fans covered with a complete breakdown of everything they need to know as No. 18 Wisconsin looks to take down the 12th-ranked Fighting Irish in Chicago.
