Wisconsin football social media reacts to an ugly home loss to Iowa
It was a disastrous offense performance on Saturday as Wisconsin fell 15-6 to Iowa and with it fell out of the Big Ten West drivers seat.
The Badger offense dealt with a right arm injury to Tanner Mordecai that knocked him out late in the first half, and struggled no matter if it was Mordecai or freshman Braedyn Locke leading the offense.
Iowa capitalized on an 82-yard run by LeShon Williams in the first half, the outstanding punting of Tory Taylor, and a defense that was as good as advertised to take the lead in a Big Ten West that lacks a dominant team.
Here is how Wisconsin football Twitter reacted to the loss:

It was indeed offensive:
What a half of offense that was truly offensive to the eyes: Wisconsin and Iowa combined for 10 three-and-outs, five apiece.

Revenge for Deacon Hill:
Deacon Hill returns to the place that wouldn’t give him reps in practice and leads #Iowa to a 15-6 victory.

One of the best to ever do it:
Tory Taylor punted 10 times for 50.9 yards, 6 inside the 20 and 5 for 50-plus. Might be worth a midseason All-American spot. pic.twitter.com/CyTXGlSkUT

Not what you wanted to hear...
“I can’t throw.”
Never the sentence you want to hear your quarterback utter.

LeShon Williams on his big run:
LeShon Williams when asked his stiff arm: “I don’t remember, I blacked out. That was all God”

The offensive scheme was...interesting
Someone please remind Wisconsin how to run the football. This is getting ridiculous.

Iowa/Wisconsin will set the game of football back 100 years
