Roundtable: Wisconsin defensive effort a bright spot, offense sputters in 13-7 loss to Northwestern

Our writers look at the loss to Northwestern, and what they believe should be a catch.

THE GOOD: What went well for Wisconsin on Saturday?

Owen Riese: Wisconsin's defense is good. Like really good. That's about all that was good to watch yesterday. In familiar fashion this season, the offense sputtered for long stretches this week, but ultimately redshirt senior quarterback Joel Stave led a successful two-minute drill to get down to the one-yard line. That's where things stopped going well. This defense is unreal. I really hope Wisconsin will able to retain Dave Aranda after the season, because this unit is elite.
