Saturday at Northwestern it was more of the same as UW defeated the Wildcats, 23-3, in front of a sellout crowd at Martin Stadium. The victory raised Wisconsin’s record to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Big Ten.

Wisconsin rose above an early slog to secure a 23-3 victory, taking control just before halftime for the Badgers’ third consecutive win. In the process, Wisconsin avenged a loss to Northwestern a year ago in one of its worst performances of the season.

It wasn't as pretty as their last two blowout wins over Purdue and Rutgers, but Wisconsin was able to extend its winning streak to three with a 23-3 win over Northwestern on the road. They have plenty of room to grow if they want any chance next week against No.
