A 42-10 final score gives the appearance of a dominant win over the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, but Wisconsin football was far from dominant in the first half. The Wisconsin Badgers have much to improve, but also many reasons to have their heads held high.

Chief among those reasons is the play of quarterback Danny O’Niel. With a record-setting performance in his first start as a Badger, the San Diego State transfer played a nearly perfect game.

In the instant reaction episode of Talkin’ Badgers, BadgerNotes publisher Dillon Graff, live from the Camp Randall Stadium press box, joined host Kedrick Stumbris to break down their immediate takeaways, including thoughts on Wisconsin’s offense, defense, special teams, and coaching.
