BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Of course the University of Wisconsin football team is getting good at overcoming slow starts.
After all, practice makes perfect and UW has been forced to make amends for a sloppy start in virtually every game this season.
Maybe that's why it didn't faze the fourth-ranked Badgers one bit when they found themselves trailing Indiana 10-0 early in the second quarter Saturday at Memorial Stadium. They settled down and calmly dismantled the Hoosiers after that, posting a 45-17 victory that raised their record to an impressive 9-0 while at the same time adding to concerns that one of these Saturdays some opponent is going to make them pay for their mistake-riddled starts.
