MADISON, WIS. - The No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers (4-0 overall, 2-0 B1G) outlasted Northwestern (1-3 overall, 0-2 B1G), 24-15, in a hotly contested defensive showdown.
Wisconsin struggled to find their footing offensively against the Wildcats. Wisconsin was out-gained for the first time this season, 255-243.
“Certainly, it’s a sound scheme,” said head coach Paul Chryst of the Wildcats defense. “They did a good job of getting their safeties involved and a couple of times we picked it up and some times we didn’t, I think they do a good job and have some really good players.
