Wisconsin Twitter reacts to the longest TD run in school history
A sluggish start for the Badgers was all but forgotten with two monster plays that each set school records.
After Illinois State drove into the red zone in the first quarter, John Torchio returned an interception 100 yards to the house to open the scoring. Just a few moments later, Braelon Allen was able to break off the longest run in Wisconsin football history. The Fond Du Lac native took it 96 yards after breaking through the initial Redbird tacklers.
Badger Twitter had a number of awesome reactions to the first big offensive play of the season. Here is a look at some of the best:
Allen surpassed James White's 93-yard run from 2013
That is the longest run in Wisconsin history. Braelon Allen's 96-yard scamper eclipses James White's 93-yard run against Indiana in 2013.

Just finding that out:
Yeah, Braelon Allen just ran for a 96-yard touchdown, but did you know that last season he was 17 years old?
