Every week, our Ian McCafferty will go back and critically review one or more plays from the past Saturday's game. These are the plays that, more than any others, were crucial in determining the outcome of the game. He'll check the film, and breakdown the how and why of those decisive few seconds.
Well Northwestern made it interesting towards the end, but a loss is still a loss as the Wildcats dropped to 2-2 after losing in Madison. Wisconsin had built a 21-point lead using the play action (and a pick six), with the game’s defining play coming in the third quarter when Quintez Cephus blew the top off the Northwestern defense on a 61-yard catch.
