Terrible. Miserable. Horrible. I'm running out of adjectives to describe this Badgers offense in 2024. Scratch that, that Badgers offense below Phil Longo. It seems lost at sea and it feels inevitable that Longo, the captain, will go down with his ship.

This unit needs changes from top to bottom, but there were two glaring eyesores: Quarterback Braedyn Locke and the offensive line.

Locke played perhaps his worst game in a Badgers jersey. His timing was wrong. He missed throws behind receivers. He had a handful of passes intercepted at the line of scrimmage. He threw two interceptions and should have had at least two more; He couldn't stop throwing the ball to the other team. To be completely honest, his stats of 15 of 29, 137 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions don't tell you how terrible his performance was.

As for the offensive line, AJ BlazekThe Wisconsin unit has proven to us for two weeks now that their performance during Wisconsin's three-game winning streak was worth its weight in gold. Against Penn State and Iowa — two legitimate defensive fronts — Wisconsin's veteran offensive line got no offense at all.

These two ingredients combine to create an incredibly tasteless offensive game. Football can't run (Tawee Walker had 16 carries for 52 yards) and with a quarterback who couldn't adjust to an extremely hostile environment, the Badgers were doomed from the start. It was painfully clear early on that Wisconsin's offense would be stuck in the mud all night.

Neither Locke nor the offensive line had helped much. The game prompt remains uninventive. Penalties – especially early on, and especially three false starts at tight end Tucker Ashcraft – ran rampant. The receivers dropped catchable passes and often couldn't take the lead against a disappointing Hawkeyes secondary.

The mistakes seemed to multiply in this offensive. One mistake after another accumulated, and the result was a revelation in everything that made Longo's plan in Madison ineffective. There are still three games left, but the coffin is quickly closing in for several key members of this offense – namely the play-caller and the quarterback. CJ WilliamsThe touchdown on fourth down was a beautiful play and an acrobatic catch by the junior wideout. Otherwise you will burn the tape.
