Wisconsin

What happened

Wisconsin opened at Notre Dame and left with a 13-41 loss and an 0-1 record, and the turning point wasn't a snap so much as a vibe: the third quarter, when, as one fan put it, "neutral flairs disappeared from the game thread in the 3rd quarter like roaches when you shine a light." What followed in the comments was less rage than inventory-taking. One fan noted the program once sat "just a step behind the Ohio States & Alabamas," and now talks about positives and avoiding injuries. Twelve games remain, which sounds less like a promise than a sentence.
