The Badger defense is one of the best unit’s in the entire country. But on Saturday, Wisconsin’s defense struggled in the red zone.
In fact, Northwestern was nearly perfect in the red zone. The Wildcats scored on every trip kicking one field goal and scoring three touchdowns.
Wisconsin’s red zone defense is ranked 29th in the country. The Badgers are allowing scores on 75 percent of opponent’s red zone visits.
The good news, is Wisconsin has only allowed 12 total red zone trips in its four games. Of those dozen, opponents have kicked four field goals and scored five touchdowns.
