No. 20 Northwestern, No. 21 Wisconsin to settle second place

MILWAUKEE (AP) For all the ups and downs in his career, senior Joel Stave can wind down his time at No. 21 Wisconsin with an impressive milestone.

A win on Saturday against 20th-ranked Northwestern would give Stave his 30th victory as a starting quarterback, matching a program record held by Brooks Bollinger.

There is a more pressing matter for Wisconsin's Senior Day. Win and the Badgers' slim hopes for an outright Big Ten West division title stay alive.

''You've just got to find a way to not get caught up in the emotions of it,'' Stave said about his last game at Camp Randall Stadium.
