You say, "Battle of the defenses", then pick a score that would hit the "over" in Vegas.
We come out firing with a scripted drive that leads to a FG. We hold a 3-0 lead through 1Q in a field position battle. Hunter punts surprisingly well and Wiscy can't get anything going. Until a couple big plays lead to a TD drive mid to late 2Q. Clayton makes a big play with his feet to get us into field goal range before half. Mitchell doesn't disappoint, 7-6 at the break.
Badgers come out of the locker room with vigor and establish a bit of a running game. But then miss a FG. Punting battle commences once again. Until Thorson connects with Christian Jones on two successive passes, followed by a Jelani Roberts scamper on a jet sweep to get inside the 5, then Justin Jackson punches it home. Fitz of course thinks it's too early to go for 2. Mitchell shanks extra point. 12-7. Early 4th quarter Badgers put together a long drive and Stave finds Erickson in the corner of the end zone and he pulls it in despite blanket coverage.
Badgers 14-12. Cats drive to midfield, but then a holding penalty derails it. Punt and trust the defense. They do their job. Ball back with just over 2 minutes to go. Clayton completes short passes, mixed in with some runs. 3rd and 7 from the Wiscy 35 he connects with McHugh on the sideline. Then 3 JJ runs to set up Mitchell from 38 as time expires. Draino.
Wildcats 15, Badgers 14.

Quit generalizing, Ricko. You make no mention whatsoever of replay reversals, use of timeouts, barometric pressure . . . nothing. Be specific!
The two teams will struggle on O. The Wisconsin running game will be stopped and NU will do enough for field position, Stave will throw 3 INTs. NVH will take one to the house, Harris will take one to set up a FG and Vault will run back a kickoff. Final score NU17, WISC 3
For the record, the 3 JJ runs at the end were for the purpose of draining Wisconsin's remaining timeouts. Otherwise if you approximate time from when we got the ball back with a bit over 2 mins left, the clock prob would have run to 0.
