Wisconsin football fans less than enthused by latest win to move to 2-0

A collection of thoughts by Wisconsin football fans after the Badgers pulled away in the second half against Middle Tennessee State.

Goals still in sight

Team plays cleaner so far this year.
Still appears the Badgers have a good defense.
Clearly a second half team.
Run the end around every play?
Still on pace to make the CFP. 😃

Dickenesque

A tale of two halves. QB depth and TE production obviously improved from last year. WR depth looks great. O-line play and run game between the tackles needs improvement. We'll find out how good they are next week.

— Matt (@ublicious1) September 7, 2025

Cooked up a win

Hard to overlook the size, speed, strength and overall athleticism deficit of the program right now, and the OL is officially a disaster. Grimes gets too cute/gimmicky at times but deserves credit for finding a way to generate points with a backup QB and no running game.

Simple breakdown

Good teams win, great teams cover

— Jorgy (@dcjorgenson) September 6, 2025

No more cupcakes

Scrimmages are over. Time for big boy football. Can they clean up snaps, elevate their game and start fast? Got a week to figure that out.

— Fred Ehle (@FredEhle) September 6, 2025

Not all bad

Worse o line since maybe Barry’s first year. Running backs are average at best. Not a lot of separation from wr. Qb above average. D line big but not mobile. Lbs are small and make bad decisions. Dbacks are decent. Not making mistakes of last years and coaching calls better

— Joe Devine (@joedevine87) September 7, 2025

This isn't some throwaway game in Rochester ...

I don't understand how Fick's Badger teams start every game lethargic and uninspired. He needs to watch Miracle and see how Kurt Russell as Herb Brooks did it

— Steve Schuster (@SteveSc84123682) September 6, 2025

Issues to fix

still concerned about the run game/OL- I don't think they will be competitive in the B1G without it

— Slim Hickman (@SlimHickman) September 6, 2025

Make it make sense

We’re living in a bizarro world where O-Line is the weakest link of a Wisconsin Badger football team

— Brian S (@BrianSm71994635) September 6, 2025

In need of explanation

How can you have shotgun snap problems at that level?

— Coach Slaw (@JoelSlawinski) September 7, 2025

We need you, big man

Need Renfrow back ASAP. Offense sure did show it's potential in the second half. Next week gotta play loose and shoot our shot!

— x - Travis Thompson (@PhoenixSTLRams) September 6, 2025

Playing the long game

My hope is that Tressel played vanilla to prepare for Alabama.

Two years of experience tells me that's not what happened. He's just a bad coach
