Joel Stave explained Monday the final few plays of the Wisconsin football team’s 13-7 Saturday loss to No. 17 Northwestern.
Stave wasn’t available to speak to the media immediately after the game because he was shaken up from taking a hard sack on 2nd-and-goal from the one-yard line in the final seconds of the fourth quarter.
After the play, Stave got up and looked toward the sideline. Visibly confused, running back Dare Ogunbowale took the snap and spiked the ball to stop the clock with six seconds remaining, bringing up fourth down.
Stave said he is fine but is still going through the concussion protocol, saying it is better to err on the side of caution when it comes to head injuries.
