Wisconsin State Journal reporter Jim Polzin asked Badgers fans on Twitter what they thought of No. 19 Wisconsin's 49-0 win over the South Florida Bulls on Friday night at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.Â
Here's what fans were saying on Twitter after the Badgers dominated their season opener from start to finish on both sides of the ball:
Let the games begin
Coan is terrible I want Mertz or this is the only game we win all season.

Get ready to crash and burn
Ok. Offense did nothing without Taylor. Coan struggled and we gave up way too many sacks. Not gonna fly in the big ten

Step in the right direction
Still a lot of uncertainty for when they play teams that can stop the run. But compared to last year? I’ll take it.

Crisis averted
I am just glad you and @jaypo1961 didnt have like a 4 hour delay. I don’t think I could have handled Jeff’s whinning.

Kicking around ideas
Really good except not having a kicker. That scares me and could be a huuuuge problem. Can we ask @CarliLloyd if she has eligibility left.

Some good, some bad
Defense looks fast, offensive line needs work. Coan was OK.
— Ted Dongelman (@Ted_Dongelman) August 31, 2019
Plenty of positives
Defense came to play and looks faster than last year.

Young players look like they have a bright future.
#23 is also pretty decent at the game of football!
Discovering their short game
Fantastic all around performance. This is the short passing game I’ve been hoping for. Front 7 looks faster. Some good looking young players on D.

Putting in the work
Looks like Jimmy Leonhard worked overtime this offseason. Happy.

Palate cleanser
USF may not be the rising power they were billed as, but this was still a great way to get the bad taste of last season out of their mouth. JT23 should be in the Heisman conversation all year. And Coan looks like an upgrade at QB.

Well, it's actually quite easy
Blowout shutout win on the road? Hard to complain about anything after that.
— Trent Probst (@coachprobst) August 31, 2019
Starting off strong
Impressive debut!! That defense was incredible tonight.
— Dan Dahnert (@BadgerDan19) August 31, 2019
Coan played pretty well. Missed some throws early. But didn't turn the ball over.
And Jonathan Taylor, what else is there to say? So very gifted! #OnWisconsin
Room to grow
Impressive...still areas to improve but a road win in Florida 49-0...great effort
— Andrew Wendorf (@awendorf4) August 31, 2019
Return to form
Great start to the season . Seems like the team is playing loose and the defense is back to its dominant form.
— David Roelke (@DavidRoelke) August 31, 2019
Showing some heart
Not perfect but seems like a lot more fight, drive, and desire than last year which is exciting to see.
— Rex Haverberg (@fbwa76) August 31, 2019
Polite? On Twitter??
Loved the D speed. QB play is still underwhelming to be polite. Having the best player on the field is the difference maker.
— Mark Wolfgram (@markwwolfgram) August 31, 2019
No letting up
So nice to have a nice wire to wire win. Also, JT is ridiculous and needs to win the Heisman. Just a joy to watch him
— Jeremy Wojtecki (@jwojPAC) August 31, 2019
Still holds up
As Barry used to say they did some good things out there today. A lot to be encouraged about.

Taking care of business
The Badgers looked sound and took care of business against a team it was supposed to beat.

The wait is over!
