EVANSTON, ILL.—A week after gaining 545 yards in its homecoming win, a timeout before the first play of the game beckoned as a harbinger of warning and potential events to come for Wisconsin’s offense on Saturday.
Three turnovers, untimely errors and lack of execution ultimately stalled UW in its 31-17 loss to Northwestern in only recording 323 yards of offense.
“It was definitely tough today,” running back Jonathan Taylor said. “We had a lot of good plays, a lot of big plays, and then we also had times where we shot oursleves in the foot so I felt like that was a big part of today’s game was just self-execution.
