The Northwestern Wildcats defeated the Wisconsin Badgers at Madison on senior night in a wild finish this past Saturday.
The Wildcats never gave up the lead, but Badgers quarterback Joel Stave nearly defeated Northwestern in a late drive. The Badgers almost won twice in the final minute, but two overturned touchdowns gave the Wildcats the win.
Northwestern (9-2, 5-2) forced five turnovers, notched five sacks, and ended up defeating Wisconsin 17-13.
In the third quarter, Wisconsin player Alex Erickson’s punt return for a touchdown was overturned when it was ruled that he called for a fair catch before taking control of the ball.
