It’s been a rough two weeks for the Wisconsin Badgers, who have lost two embarrassing matchups in a row to the Indiana Hoosiers and the Northwestern Wildcats, respectively, leaving the program without bowl eligibility with two games remaining in the season.

After a disappointing 20-14 loss to the Hoosiers on the road, the Badgers turned it around with an even uglier performance at home against the Wildcats, struggling significantly on both sides of the ball in a game that was ultimately decided within the first half.

The loss led to warranted frustrations from players postgame, as quarterback Tanner Mordecai and safety Hunter Wohler alluded to issues with player effort, with the latter calling out his teammates for not being fully bought into the program during an animated 10-minute interview postgame.
