[Da-news-now]

The 2017 Wisconsin Badgers have gained a reputation as a second-half team.

Yup, a sloppy first half and a lack-luster 4th quarter.

Northwestern has a decent, but not great, defense. The Badgers complete inability to run the ball late in that game made the score closer than it needed to be. One or two first downs in those last 2 drives and they win fairly comfortably. This is nothing close to the elite OL they have had in years gone by. It's a "decent" group but so far, not special in any way.

Hopefully they are a little stronger against Nebraska next week, right from the start. Need to start fast and put Nebraska in a hole right away.
