Northwestern vs. Wisconsin: 3 things we learned after the Badgers' 13-7 loss

Three things (okay, maybe more) that we learned from a dismal Senior Day loss.

Another stagnant offensive performance, coupled with turnovers and some overturned touchdowns on controversial calls, negated a Senior Day victory for the Wisconsin Badgers (8-3, 5-2) in their 13-7 loss to the Northwestern Wildcats (9-2, 5-2) on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.

1. Offensive troubles, part one: Turnovers doom Badgers. Turning over the ball five times will not win you a game. That may be the most "Captain Obvious" statement here. Fumbles by Joel Stave, Alex Erickson and Tanner McEvoy, along with the two Stave interceptions, halted any momentum on the offensive end.
