GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 8 • 33 Coming off an upset loss to Northwestern, the Badgers bounced back with a 38-28 vic- tory over the Illini.

Both Gordon and backup running back Corey Clement surpassed the 150-yard mark, gaining 175 and 164 yards respectively. Stave finished the game with 73 yards on seven comple- tions and spent most of his time handing the ball off to a running game that recorded 401 yards on the ground. Nov. 22, vs. Northwestern In a battle be- tween two contend- ers in the Big Ten West, Northwestern returns home to avenge last year's last-second loss to the Huskers. The Wildcats will rely on their 11th-ranked scoring defense to try to slow down the Nebraska offense that can both run and pass efficiently. Last Saturday, Minnesota ended Northwestern's three- game win streak with a 24-17 vic- tory. Statistically, it was a game that Northwestern dominated, as the Wildcats tallied more passing and rushing yardage, and twice as many first downs as the Gophers. Northwestern quarterback Trevor Siemian was 32-of-50 with 269 yards and a rushing and passing touchdown. Freshman running back Justin Jackson contributed 106 yards on 23 carries in the loss. j Nebraska Ameer Abdullah looks to put up big numbers this week against Northwestern.
