Did PSU and Wisky players not like each other?

Might have just been camera angles, but end of the game at Madison seemed odd -- PSU players went to the center of the field to greet the Wisky players but almost no Wisky players were there to meet them from what I could see. Did the Wisky coaches and team run to the locker room and skip the handshake ritual?

There didn't seem to be any unusual amount of on the field jawing. Wisconsin coaches are clearly coaching players to go right up to the line of targeting and maybe PSU players were talking to them about it. They're trying to cause concussions without actual helmet contact. What can you do, it's legal. Maybe Wisky has to do it because they have so many people in their secondary who are big slow overachiever types. They hit hard because they can't cover, I get it. But I didn't love the way they were hitting Wallace high after the catch. Maybe it's frustration because Wisky hasn't beaten PSU in so long and they really thought they had a chance. Or maybe it's nothing.

We have been beating t by em like a drum but they still should show good sportsmanship.
 
They were assembling with whatever students were left for another inspiring "jump around". Couldn't find any so they went to the showers.

I saw the Wisky player who hit Beau hard and spon him around posturing over him on the ground - it was after beau got the first dwn and we then scored - great job pal you hit someone hard for zero impact on the game.

There was a shoving match, caught by the cameras just before they cut away, after the very first play. I was surprised there wasn’t a flag. One of the whiskey players came over and shoved our player down as he was on his knee on the sideline
 
I don't know about dislike between the teams, but I thought that Wisconsin was the best tackling team I've seen in quite some time. Not many yards after contact on Saturday which is not very common for our backs and Warren.
