Here's what fans were saying after the Badgers improved to 6-0 and 3-0 in Big Ten play with their fourth shutout of the season:
Here we go again
Once again, the #Badgers defense really got down to the Nitty Gritty. And they weren’t alone! pic.twitter.com/t9xj5TjkpN

One to remember
Maybe the most dominant performance I’ve seen from this program against an opponent of this caliber (I still think MSU is a good team)

Well, if Lloyd likes it...

Setting up the sweep
Finally they start to use the jet sweep!!! Teams wants to stack the middle on Taylor and the outside was wide open all game long! Going to be hard to stop Taylor when teams need to account for that. Coan played great also! #OnWisconsin 🔴⚪️👐🏼

Keep up the good work!
Yeah, @DesmondHoward and @KirkHerbstreit said it would be close. It wasn't.

Backup the Brinks truck

Master class in teamwork
Love how this group plays as a team. Guys are genuinely excited when others make plays. Example, did you see the celebration after Wildgoose pick to end the game? Awesome! Coan made plays today. Deep and talented squad #OnWisconsin

That does sound fun
I want them to play like this against a good team.

Bucky on the hunt
Ohio State better watch out Bucky is coming to take them down.

It didn't matter
I was irritated with some of the conservative play calling in the 2nd quarter but in the end it didn’t matter. I’m holding judgment on how good this team is until they play Ohio St. Statistically they 👀 really good.

Well-rounded effort
One of the more complete games in all aspects. Great to see the offense go beyond just JT as good as he is.

Don't forget about the offense
Defense will be the story once again, but this was a huge game for Jack Coan and the passing game. They proved that slowing down #JT23 is not the way to beat the Badgers.

Can't disagree with a sweatshirt
Another well coached game.

That's not nothing
Bowl Eligible.

Are you though?
They are a 6th place team in SEC. #justkidding

As real as it gets
Our D is the real deal!!! #OnWisconsin

Wait, can you be sarcastic on Twitter?
But really, who have they played 😁?

That's uncanny!
Loved those in game shots of Dantonio, hopefully his last appearance at the Camp pic.twitter.com/jyvoRKyJ9X

The potential's there
A wealth of talent this year. A lot of potential for some kind of title, Big 10 and National.

If we ever get a close one
The key to the Badgers is the PAT kicker. If he's successful the Badgers will win.

Need to be better vs. Buckeyes
Wow!!! Domination D again! Coan looked very good. O line pass protection great. Only concern I have is the run game/ JT struggled again like vs. Northwestern. Seemed to have issues adjusting again. Will need that to be clicking at OSU..
— Paul Bergum (@paul_bergum) October 13, 2019
Focus on Illini
Minor concern over being able to “shut down” Taylor but good to see the rest of the team step up. Can’t overlook next week.
— Conor McElroy (@CMcElroy_Atty) October 12, 2019
Firing on all cylinders
This team is so connected. They are definitely playing for each other at all times. Coaching staff is also doing a tremendous job. Badgers are legit!

Jack Coan's statistics for the run-first Badgers aren't likely to land him in the Heisman race, but the junior quarterback showed against Michigan State's talented, athletic defense that he can be exactly what UW needs at the position.
Despite the Spartans keeping Jonathan Taylor in check, No. 8 Wisconsin maintained control throughout and came away with a 38-0 victory at Camp Randall Stadium. That’s UW’s fourth shutout of the season, the most it’s had since 1930.
State Journal columnist Tom Oates grades the No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers' play in their 38-0 win over the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday at Camp Randall.
Jonathan Taylor, a Heisman Trophy contender, scored two touchdowns from the 1-yard line in the Badgers' 38-0 win over the Spartans. Both of those punch-ins were set up by clutch catches tight end Jake Ferguson made to extend drives for UW's offense.
UW's four shutouts are the most in the modern era of the program. The Badgers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) haven’t had this many shutouts in a season since they recorded five shutouts in 1930.
A quick look at the 8th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers' 38-0 win over the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.
Georgia still has the talent to make a playoff run, but the upset undercuts the possibility of the Southeastern Conference getting multiple teams in the playoff.
UW is one of six Big Ten teams ranked, including one of three in the top 10.
UW last defeated the Buckeyes in 2010.
A combination of smart play-calling, accurate throws and strong receiver play sunk MSU's attempts to stop the Badgers' receivers.
