Badgers HC Luke Fickell calls loss to Northwestern “embarrassing”

The Wisconsin Badgers continued their recent slide with a 24-10 loss to the Northwestern Wildcats at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, dropping to 5-5 on the season and below .500 in conference play.

The first half was the true killer for the Badgers, as they couldn’t function at all defensively, giving up four scores on Northwestern’s four drives of the half, while the offense generated only three points, despite getting into Wildcats territory three times.

That lead to a 24-3 halftime deficit for the Badgers, one far too big for them to crawl out of in the 24-10 loss.
