Better late than never
Badgers got off to the fast start they so badly needed. Graham Mertz has shown why he was rated so highly in high school. It took his third year but he’s arrived. The team was motivated against an inferior opponent who was 1-19 in it’s last 20 games. Very impressive victory.

Are you not entertained?
Couldn't kick one more field goal?

Third string's the charm
Dominant win. Pretty much the only blemishes were the O-Line play being lackluster again and that one hiccup by Mertz. Other than that, solid performance. How dare the third string defense give up the shutout though? Lol

You get what you pay for
Difficult to have any takeaways given how awful NMSt is, but two main things for me was that Burkett looks like a legit backup QB option and it was good to see a successful FG attempt. Need to stop these inexplicable holding penalties too.

As if!
Yawn

All uphill from here
New Mexico State is not very good. They actually looked worse this week than against the Gophers. Mertz missed some wide open throws early. Badgers beat a bad team, like they should. It will be a different brand of football next week.

Too hot to handle
All-red unis are 🔥, need more please. Mertz looked good and so did Burkett. Domination was what was needed today and they delivered.

Smooth sailing
Good to iron out some kinks, but that was just an awful awful team.

Lose-lose proposition
Geez…people negative when the Badgers LOSE to a team they are supposed to beat, and negative when they BEAT a team they are supposed to beat. Maybe they are only happy when the Badgers play teams they are not supposed to beat?!

Keep it rolling
Very much needed. Onward.

Glimpse into the future
Burkett has good presence. Excited for him.

Take what you get
Braelon Allen shoulda padded more stats and scores 6 rushing TDS

How sweet it is

Hey, it could happen
It is what they needed. If they are not intimidated next week they can keep@it close, and then who knows??

Clap your hands
Happy!!!!

Sure, the latest performance was against New Mexico State, but improvements from QB Graham Mertz, the receivers and play-caller Bobby Engram are positive signs for the Badgers' offense.
The Badgers showed plenty of flaws during nonconference play. The good news for them? The Big Ten West Division is a mess filled with winnable games.
Thoughts on Badgers right guard Tanor Bortolini's return, a stud receiver's blocking, a cool wrinkle on defense and more.
Three weeks into the season and there are still more than few teams ranked in The Associated Press college football poll that have a lot to prove, topped by Michigan.
The level of competition wasn't the toughest the Badgers will face, but that doesn't mean their big win didn't shed light on coach Paul Chryst's squad.
The Badgers haven't lost to Illinois at Camp Randall Stadium since 2002, a streak Bret Bielema's team will try to snap next week.
None of the Ohio natives on Wisconsin's football roster had a scholarship offer from Ohio State out of high school. They now are looking to help the Badgers author a massive upset.
Wisconsin's secondary squares off with one of the best receiver groups in the nation Saturday at Ohio State, including a star in Jaxon Smith-Njigba playing primarily in the slot.
