Northwestern 2024

This one relied on some great defensive plays. A forced fumble with Northwestern on their own goal line leads to a quick 7 for Wisconsin. And later the defense gave us a safety. The defense continues to be stingy giving up only 16 points in the last 3 games.

Wisconsin: 24
Northewestern: 3

The unit made two key stops during the first half.

• After Locke threw an interception midway through the first quarter, the unit made sure Northwestern didn’t gain any momentum from the turnover. UW forced a three and out and allowed just 2 yards before the Wildcats punted.

• The Wildcats started one possession in Wisconsin territory in the first half. They took over at the Badgers’ 42 but didn’t get a first down. That drive ended with a 51-yard missed field goal by Luke Akers.
