Wisconsin was absolutely throwing NW's defensive seven around like ragdolls, and Wisconsin's defense was dominant. Somehow (well, through umpteen turnovers) NW stays in the game. It reminded me of at least one ND/NW game where we were clearly the better team, seemed to have played better, but somehow found ourselves losing the game.

It's not like Purdue in the 90s, where they'd come out and put up a spirited performance against Davie's lackluster squads. No, it is just some plodding, incompetent way of backing into a victory that is unique to NW.
