Iowa and Wisconsin staged an old-fashioned Big Ten slobberknocker on Saturday.
If you want to look at it that way, fine.
Another view would be both offenses were, um, offensive.
The Hawkeyes improved to 5-1 with the victory. They got an 82-yard touchdown run by Leshon Williams, two field goals, and a safety.
Other than Williams, who had 174 rushing yards, the star for the Hawkeyes was punter Tory Taylor, who averaged 50.6 yards on 10 punts.

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

His counterpart for the Badgers, Atticus Bertrams, punted 8 times and averaged 42.9 yards.
How about a highlight reel of punts?
Yes, this is a 1:41 punt highlight reel.
Tory Taylor is just 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 good at what he does. 🤩 #ForTheBrand x @HawkeyeFootball pic.twitter.com/pvFkUkR8a8

The totals are 18 punts and 849 yards. That is a lot of air time for footballs.
