Concern arises over police body camerasBy Greta BjornsonTHE DAILY CARDINAL

A proposal that would require Madison Police Department offi-cers to be outfitted with body cameras has sparked a discussion about police relations within the Madison community.

A special committee that the Madison Common Council appoint-ed and tasked with evaluating the benefits and setbacks of using the cameras has investigated the pro-posal since it was first presented. Deciding upon the fate of the propos-al was delayed earlier this October and a final Common Council vote was scheduled for Nov. 17.

In response to the issue, a report on minority communities’ reaction to body cameras compiled by the Madison YWCA Center for Family Policy and Practice was presented to community members at a meeting Thursday.

Jacquelyn Boggess of the Center for Family Policy and Practice pre-sented the report gathered from the responses of about 200 minor-ity individuals in Dane County. Among the respondents were members of the African-American, Latino, LGBTQ and Hmong com-munities, as well as survivors of domestic violence.

Boggess said she interviewed participants, many of whom were

principally concerned with manip-ulation of camera footage, as well as the safety of African-Americans.

“I don’t see how [body cameras] can help,” one anonymous partici-pant said, according to Boggess.

Others expressed frustration over racial profiling.

“In the same way that they are targeting the black community, they will eventually target the Latino com-munity,” another respondent said.

MPD Chief Mike Koval, who was also present, emphasized the force’s compliance regardless of the committee’s ultimate decision.

“We understand that the coun-cil thought that [body cameras were] a critical need at this point … Ultimately, when the report is sub-mitted to the council … should the council adopt its findings outright and go along with those findings, that works for us,” he said. “But on the other hand, if the council believes that there’s a need to acquire more data … the police department will be amenable to those findings.”

Senate clears election overhaul in early morning voteBy Andrew BahlTHE DAILY CARDINAL

The state Senate voted early Saturday morning to approve sweeping changes to the state’s election and campaign finance systems, ending weeks of uncertainty surrounding the bills’ fates.

One bill would alter state campaign finance law by increasing contribution limits for campaign donations and loosening restrictions on political action committee giving. That measure passed 17-15 with state Sen. Robert Cowles, R-Green Bay, voting with the Democratic minority to oppose the measures.

The second bill, designed to split the state’s nonpartisan election board into two entities comprised equally of Republicans and Democrats,

passed on a party-line vote. The Senate

voted to approve several key amendments to the bills, both of which passed the state Assembly last month. Under the Senate version, two former judges would be added to the next election board, a compromise among Republicans.

In addition, the body altered the campaign finance bill to limit political action committees from coordinating with candidates on issues.

Proponents of the measures argue they increase free speech and are sufficient enough to do away with the Government Accountability Board, the agency that oversees elections

in Wisconsin and which Republicans argue is non-partisan in name only.

“I believe the people of Wisconsin deserve an effective agency overseeing one of the most important of their constitutional rights,” said Assistant Majority Leader Leah Vukmir, R-Wauwatosa. “The problems plaguing the GAB need to be addressed ... We are correcting the problems.”

The GAB, created in 2007 with bipartisan support, has come under increased scrutiny for its part in a 2012 John Doe investigation into alleged violations during Gov. Scott Walker’s recall campaign.

But critics of the bills maintain they would destroy an agency that has been called a model for the nation and open the floodgates for outside money

in state elections.“Look at what you’re doing

today,“ said state Sen. Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay. “We’re going backwards and our democracy is at risk.”

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, has struggled to get enough of his members behind the bills to move them forward. A breakthrough appeared to come Tuesday, as Fitzgerald announced that a compromise had been reached to move the amended versions forward.

But as the afternoon waned Friday, there was no official word from Republican leadership as to what those amendments entailed. The body met until 2:30 p.m. to pass a slate of smaller bills before breaking for partisan caucus.

Two hours later, the first of the proposed changes to the GAB

bill were made public, including requiring two former judges be appointed to the commission and changing how the chair is selected.

Changes to the campaign finance bill were announced shortly thereafter, without expected changes to reinstate language that compels donors to disclose their employer if they give over $200. Fitzgerald said a “vast majority” of his caucus opposed the changes because it could “have a chilling effect” on campaign donations.

Because of the changes made by the Senate, the Assembly will have to re-approve the bills before they can advance to the governor’s desk. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, has indicated that he would call his body into extraordinary session Nov. 16 to pass the amended versions of both bills.

SSFC PROFILEStudent-run FH King farm aims to expand programming with newly approved budget

By Jake SkubishTHE DAILY CARDINAL

FH King, a UW-Madison stu-dent organization focused on the relationship between land, food and community on campus, had its 2016-’17 budget approved Thursday by the Associated Students of Madison Student Services Finance Committee.

FH King has been on the UW-Madison campus since 1979. The organization runs much of its programming around its student-run farm at Eagle Heights and its rooftop garden space on the Pyle Center. FH King also puts on events each year, such as the Fall Harvest Festival.

The increased budget, just over $81,000 total, will allow FH King to expand their reach on campus.

“In the past year we’ve shown that we can effectively spend our budget and are a fiscally-respon-sible organization,” said FH King Administrative Director Morgan

Menke. “Our events grow every year, and we hope to connect to even more students in the future.”

The need for budget increases has grown as FH King’s popu-larity on campus has expanded, as noted by an increase in FH King internship positions and programming continues to rise, Menke said. The organization plans on using their new budget to expand the film screening event they began last year, and to bring in speakers to talk about ideas that relate to their mission.

“We will be able to bring in a prominent speaker to speak about issues related to sustain-able agriculture,” Menke said. “This is something that we have heard students requesting for years and are excited to be able to provide them with.”

SSFC members said they were satisfied with FH King’s budget plan, as the group granted the organization’s budget in full.

“They had a good presentation, and SSFC representatives feel con-fident with the proposed budget,” SSFC Chair Thuy Pham said.

SSFC also allowed the FH King garden director to be compensated for a 30-hour work week over the summer. SSFC usually does not allow student organization work-ers to go over 20 hours, but FH King emphasized the need for more hours to tend to the garden during the summer. The exemp-tion required a two-thirds vote from the committee.

With an increased budget and more latitude for program-ming, FH King will continue to promote its mission on campus, Menke said.

“We have become a much more structured, professionalized organization in the past year,” Menke said. “We will continue to do good work on this campus that connects students with land, food and community.”

many feared the police and the cam-eras “would not assuage the fear, was the general consensus,” she added.

MPD Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain said that, although there is no current man-date, body cameras are likely to be implemented eventually.

“The chief has said it’s a matter

of not ‘if,’ but ‘when’ the depart-ment will get cameras,” he said.

Yet, DeSpain noted the cam-eras are an expensive investment and technology will only continue to advance in the future. He also explained the challenges that the body cameras present.

The department would “need a way to maintain and retrieve the video,” DeSpain said.

“[We] must get around the fact that there are people who do not want to be recorded,” he said.

Ultimately, Koval explained that the police force’s main objective is to maintain a strong relationship with the citizens of Madison.

“We really want to show our receptiveness in knowing what is in the best interest of the commu-nity,” he said.

will interact with students and faculty members on the UW-Madison campus, giv-ing a free speech and attend-ing numerous journalism and communication classes.

Wheeler said his talk Tuesday will focus on the special chal-lenges science writing presents and “how to talk to people about science, how to get people who don’t care to care.”

As journalism continues to progress, Wheeler said that there will continue to be a “blurring of the boundaries” between tradi-tional and nontraditional report-

ing, which allows for journalism to be more personally connected to readers and listeners.

Though Wheeler will focus on writing about science, as the title Science Writer in Residence sug-gests, he said he also believes his speech will be applicable to all types of reporting.

“What I’m saying about sci-ence is true about every kind of journalism, I don’t care if you’re writing about football or if you’re writing about politics,” Wheeler said. “If you’re not trying to get people who otherwise wouldn’t care about this stuff to get inter-ested, then I don’t think you’re really doing your job.”

Proponents of the pipeline shrugged off environmental con-cerns and focused on the eco-nomic impact. In the depths of the Great Recession, job creation predictions climbed into the hun-dreds of thousands. Newly-elected House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., lamented Obama’s announcement.

“This decision isn’t surprising, but it’s sickening,” Ryan said in a statement following the announce-ment. “By rejecting the pipeline, the President is rejecting tens of

thousands of good-paying jobs.”Actual job predictions were

much lower. Experts concluded the pipeline would create about 42,000 temporary construction and hos-pitality jobs over two years, fol-lowed by 35 permanent jobs.

Obama made it clear that the pipeline would not be a “silver bullet for the economy,” and also cautioned against heated envi-ronmentalist rhetoric. The added emissions from the pipeline would have contributed to less than 1 per-cent of the U.S. total.

Secretary of State John Kerry

conceded that the pipeline’s demise is merely a symbol of America’s growing determination to lead on climate change.

“The reality is that this deci-sion could not be made solely on the numbers - jobs that would be created, dirty fuel that would be transported here, or carbon pollution that would ultimately be unleashed,” Kerry said in a statement. “The United States cannot ask other nations to make tough choices to address climate change if we are unwilling to make them ourselves.”

Reinvigorating the primary election

D oorbells have been torn off the wall, leaving frayed wires swaying in the wind.

People greet you cheerfully, and then their hospitality turns to hostility. Three cars sit in the driveway, and yet no one opens the door.

These are scenes from America’s most pivotal political state.

For almost a century, Iowa and New Hampshire have held the first primaries in presidential election cycles. After years of being the tar-gets of endless campaigning and canvassing, however, the citizens of these states are tired of it. In fact, some of them are paradoxically even less involved in politics than their late-primary counterparts. Maybe it’s time to give other states a turn.

The New Hampshire primary and Iowa caucus are guaranteed by state law to be first in the nation. As a result, the two states are always a huge center of attention for presiden-tial campaigns. This focus, however, drastically aides some candidates while harming others.

It is well known that New Hampshire voters consistently vote on candidate’s economic policies and Iowans generally vote on social issues (leading to previous victories of right-wing Christian conserva-tives, such as Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee). As a result of the importance of the primaries, candi-dates have to bend over backwards to

make themselves look more appeal-ing to voters based on those criteria, knowing the importance of gaining early momentum.

Candidates spent a disproportion-ate amount of time in the two states, trying to make their presence felt. As one New Hampshire Republican put it, “you’re walking down the street, you’ll have a candidate come up to you and offer to carry your grocer-ies.” The issue is that those states don’t necessarily want the attention. While there is a certain level of pride that some residents take in it, others are actually turned off of politics by the huge pressure that is placed on

their states. While canvassing in Iowa for a

certain Democratic Socialist, I was struck by the lack of hospitality we were met with. People who were obviously home (and could be seen through windows) didn’t come to the door. One lady opened the door, looking bright and energetic, saw our stickers and clipboard, let out a huge-ly exaggerated cough, complained about a nagging cold and closed the door before we could speak. One family even sent their 6-year-old boy to the door, and he yelled, “Not inter-ested!” and slammed it shut.

From an outsider’s perspec-

tive, these people were just mean. Observing it more broadly, however, shows that these are citizens tired of being bombarded with surveys and questions and campaigning. Many people, when questioned, said they weren’t planning on voting at all. They can’t be blamed for being dis-enchanted with the political system.

Giving other states a chance would do wonders for citizens and candidates alike. Instead of molding their stances and policies in order to appease only certain types of people, presidential hopefuls would have to make sure they appeal to a larger chunk of the population.

In states like Wisconsin (or my home state of Maryland), there is a low voter turnout; by that point, the winning candidate is already well on his way to victory. People feel like they can’t even make a difference. As a result, 2012 saw an only 17.3 percent voter turnout in primaries.

Hosting a nationwide prima-ry, similar to the general election, would bring a larger voter turnout and wouldn’t put more emphasis on any one state. In the current system, candidates who are wildly popular nationwide are put at a huge disad-vantage when they lose in an early state, and supporters don’t even show up in later states where the candidates are most popular. If the vote happened all on one day and was based on nationwide consen-sus rather than momentum gained in specific states, there would be a higher turnout and a more equitable process of selecting a winner.

While respecting the history and laws of Iowa and New Hampshire is important, reviving the political process and reinvigorating voters nationwide would make for a fairer election and would give the exhaust-ed voters of the Hawkeye and Granite States a much-needed rest. Doing so would be a win-win for all.

Young the Giant mesmerizes sold-out OrpheumBy Owen DesaiThe Daily carDiNal

Friday, Nov. 6, the Orpheum Theater hosted the most visual-ly and audibly charming perfor-mance I’ve ever seen. Wildling opened for Young the Giant and one word to describe the entire night was blissful. If you’re into newer bands, Wildling exudes an adventurous vibe, making me want to trek across the country with the band providing the soundtrack for my travels. This up-and-coming band writes very personal lyrics with noticeable heart behind every word. I am excited to hear what they’ll release on their upcoming crowd-funded EP later this year.

I’ve been to quite a few shows at the Orpheum with superb light-ing, but something was differ-ent about what Young the Giant chose. The lead singer, Sameer Gadhia, stood center stage with the lights illuminated around him, and gold, blue and purple lights cascaded onto the members in the back. They had a screen of pixie lights lining the entire backdrop, making it appear as if the band was floating in space and hovering on stage. The concert opened with the members as just silhouettes and that was what first caught my attention. Maybe it was because I was standing at the back of the mosh pit, but I was able to experi-ence this concert like never before and I left the venue thinking about

how radiant the concert appeared.Young the Giant played songs

from their 2014 album Mind Over Matter and more popular singles from their album Young the Giant. Considering this tour wasn’t spe-cifically for a release of a new album, I was really happy that they mixed in both old and new songs. With everyone dancing and singing along to the lyrics, it gave off the feeling that we were all enthusiastic fans of the group. If someone has never heard of Young the Giant, they are musically very similar to Fitz and The Tantrums, Foster The People and Cold War Kids. It was cool to see that, while a lot of their songs have been out for over four years, they still held significant meaning to the crowd.

I was very surprised when they dropped their most popu-lar song, “Cough Syrup,” in the middle of their show. But then it was funny to watch as a few couples departed right after it was performed. In fact, I think it’s a brilliant technique to make sure only your true supporters stay for the encore, and what an encore it was. Of the three songs they per-formed, everyone was cheering for “My Body,” which they saved for the final closer. I was very pleased with this concert from beginning to end. The Orpheum has an amazing stage and I am on the lookout for when Young the Giant comes back to town.

Ass Waxing

Saturday’s dramatic victory proves Mighty Birds still flying strongBy Emile GerbilsThe Daily CarDinal

The 1980 U.S. national hockey team. The 1996 Chicago Bulls. The 1927 New York Yankees.

Each of these teams are etched in history, but as of Saturday at 2:15 p.m., one more team has established itself in the rankings: the 2015 Cardinalistas.

The Mighty Birds soared into a well-deserved 35-28 triumph over The Badger Herald in the annu-al flag football game, while also defeating their keg, copious bottles of wine and all other kinds of alco-hol imaginable in the meantime.

After last year’s photo finish, Jim “I Rode A Mechanical Bull Once” Dayton beat out Herald editor-in-chief Aliya Iftikhar at the chug off, proving he was unfazed by the subtle and soft-spoken attempts at smack talk.

Dayton continued to lead the charge throughout the day, assur-ing concerned parties that his spike in energy was not due to cocaine use, but rather “a nice glass of orange juice” that morning.

“Bruh, it’s just grit,” Dayton said. (Your guess is as good as

ours as to what that means.) Quarterback and MVP Ethan

Levy surprised everyone present (including the group of stragglers that increased as the game went on) with his speed, agility and the fact that he literally did a front flip into the endzone. Guys, like, that actually happened.

Kara “Nothing Fazes Me” Evenson, despite having recent-ly broken/twisted/sprained her ankle, joined Jen Wagman, Ellie Herman and Kaitlyn Veto in rep-resenting the female faction of the team.

“Oh, this?” Evenson said, pointing to the bone sticking out of her ankle. “That’s nothing, you just gotta drink until you don’t feel it.”

Defensive lineman and resi-dent hype man Maxted Lenz had a busy day himself, after getting a sack, proclaiming for the next 20 minutes that he got a sack, then explaining to Emily Gerber what exactly a “sack” is.

Color commentary was a new feature this year, courtesy of Theda Berry, who assured spectators whenever “a thing

just happened” and engaged all by asking “how many numbers ahead are we now?”

Dylan Anderson joined in on sideline morale, serving as the unofficial mascot of the day in his red octopus onesie.

The victory did not come without sacrifice, however: Tommy Valtin-Erwin spent his post game tending to a broken thumb, while Jake Powers (less vocally) spent Saturday nursing a bruised hand. Both, howev-er, assured all with a wink that “women love scars.”

Will Chizek left the game needing a neck brace, but doctors are uncertain whether the injury resulted from the actual game or the excessive twerking in the post-game dance off.

Bri Maas, Conor Murphy and Jonah “I’m Still Relevant” Beleckis also contributed to the dance off, proving that not only do Cardinalistas dominate at football, they are pretty kick-ass dancers, too.

At press time, Dayton was still talking about the arms he was bearing.

3,700 runners flock to Madison for marathon

Badgers’ season comes to a close after loss to HoosiersBy jason BravermanThe Daily CarDinal

Wisconsin hung in to the bit-ter end, but ultimately couldn’t generate enough offense to keep its hopes of a Big Ten tournament alive.

The Badgers (2-3-3 Big Ten, 5-11-3 overall) fought hard until the end, both in the game and in their season, but it was ulti-mately not enough as they fell 1-0 to Indiana in the quarterfi-nals of the Big Ten tournament, bringing the 2015 season to an end for UW.

The two sides met just over a week before, a match that the Hoosiers (4-3-1, 12-4-2) also won by a 1-0 margin. Wisconsin failed to generate much offense in that tilt, and the rematch ended up being similarly played to last week’s game between these two teams.

Senior forward Femi Hollinger-Janzen grabbed his team-leading eighth goal of the season, beating UW sophomore goalie Adrian Remeniuk on a tough angle from about 10 yards out in the 22nd minute to pro-vide what ended up being the game’s only scoring.

Indiana kept attacking after the goal and dominated play in the first half, launching 15 shots—five on net—to just three by the Badgers. Play stalled a bit to open the second half with not many opportunities from either side. With time winding down though, Wisconsin found itself in a difficult position playing a man down after receiving a red card in the 78th minute.

Despite the disadvantage, the Badgers had a few chances late, but squandered a pair of

corner kicks and had a free kick saved just over the cross-bar with only two minutes remaining, as they were unable to get the equalizer and send te match to extra time.

“Even with 12 minutes left in the game and us down a man after an unfortunate red card, we were still finding enough,” UW head coach John Trask said of the final minutes. “While we were unable to come up with a goal against a very stingy defense, I was proud of the effort from our guys today.”

After a disappointing year in 2014, the Badgers once again got off to a slow start to their sea-son, losing their first four con-tests, but proved to be a tough out the rest of the way in finish-ing the year 3-3-2. With a young squad, Trask was pleased to see the development and resilience of the team.

“I told the guys after the game that it would have been very easy to bail on this season, but they decided to turn it around,” Trask said. “This became a team that may not have won every game, but became a very difficult opponent for anyone. There’s a lot of positive things taking place within this group. We look forward to getting back to work and continuing to mature this group.”

Indiana also got off to an uncharacteristically slow start this season, but has since gone 9-1-1 and will advance to the conference semifinals to take on Maryland Friday. The Badgers’ season will draw to a close, but the team’s five wins mark a step in the right direction after last year’s three-win campaign.

Nearly 3,700 runners checked in for the full and half marathons Sunday in Madison.

Race Director Ryan Richards, who also directed the IRONMAN Triathlon in September, said hav-ing the marathon in the fall makes it unique.

“There’s a great feel to it and buzz about it,” Richards said. “We don’t have to worry about the heat all the time. Plus, it’s right in the middle of football season, so peo-ple are definitely sports-minded this around this time.”

Richards said the 26.2-mile full marathon used to take place every Memorial Day weekend, though in recent years Madison Festivals, Inc., who manages the race, moved that race to early November in an attempt to combat the heat.

Half marathons still take place in the spring and fall.

The hilly course is a Boston

Marathon qualifier, which Richards said challenges his runners.

“The course is not easy by any means,” Richards said. “Some people really like that challenge, and other people get really frus-trated by it.”

Runners of different ages and genders have different qualifying times to meet in order to qualify for the Boston Marathon, which is usually held in April.

Boston-area native and cur-rent UW-Madison graduate stu-dent in applied economics Greg Englehart, 23, won the marathon in 2:39:40. It was the second mar-athon Englehart has run after completing his undergraduate degree at Colgate University in New York, where he was a mem-ber of the track and cross country teams. He manages his busy life as a grad student by training daily at the UW Arboretum.

“Running’s nice because it kind of takes the stress of school away, so instead of thinking that

I’m maybe not going to have time because I have work, I always pri-oritize getting a run in because that just balances my life between school work and working out,” Englehart said.

Englehart led the race the entire way.

Coming in at 3:08:25, Jessica Bird, 33, took first place in the women’s division, finishing over six minutes ahead of the next runner. Bird ran the Chicago Marathon, her hometown race, just four weeks ago, and her win in Madison was her 22nd mar-athon. The victory was all the more meaningful given her affin-ity for Madison.

“My husband graduated from Madison and we love—this city is awesome, so we love to come up here … hopefully it will be our home soon, we love to be in Madison. We came to support the community, we went to the Farmers’ Market yesterday, every-thing about it we love,” Bird said.

Football

big second half powers UW past marylandby lorin CoxThe Daily CarDinal

In some games, a team can rely on one player or one unit to carry them to victory. A run-ning back or an impenetrable defense can win a lot of games on their own in college football. For the Wisconsin Badgers, they needed all three phases to beat the Maryland Terrapins 31-24 Saturday in College Park, Md.

At the beginning of the game, it didn’t seem like any of the Badgers’ units came to play. The opening kickoff was kicked inten-tionally short, and it was returned 19 yards to give Maryland the ball near midfield. Their offense went three-and-out on their first drive, and the punt that followed went only 24 yards.

Then the UW defense got sloppy and let the Terrapins go ahead on the early touchdown. It appeared that no one on Wisconsin was doing their job, and Maryland was able to take advantage.

The Badgers needed to find some momentum, and it didn’t look like it was going to come from their offense or their defense. After the Terrapins’ touchdown, they kicked it off to sophomore kickoff returner Natrell Jamerson, and 98 yards later, the score was tied.

“Jamer’ can run,” head coach Paul Chryst said after the game.

“It was big for that group, not just for ’Trell. Natrell’s name goes on that return, but it’s pretty cool, the excitement that all those guys had, even the ones that weren’t on the field.”

The excitement reverberated on the sidelines, and the Badgers’ defense came out and made a stop. The offense started to stall on their next drive, but another huge spe-cial teams play jump-started them once more.

On fourth-and-one, they lined up to punt, but the snap went direct-ly to senior outside linebacker Joe Schobert, who took it and ran for 57 yards, setting up a touchdown run on the next play by redshirt junior running back Dare Ogunbowale.

“Initially, I was just trying to get the one yard,” Schobert told UWBadgers.com reporter Patrick Herb. “I looked up and there was a bunch of green grass in front of me, and I just tried to get as much as I could.”

Wisconsin’s special teams came to play, but their offense and defense still couldn’t catch up. They only could garner a field goal on top of the two special teams-led touchdowns, and their defense let Maryland tie it up at 17 heading into halftime.

“I thought, offensively, we didn’t do anything really to get in rhythm the whole first half,” Chryst said. “I think Joel [Stave] knew too that it

was hard to get into a rhythm with the way the first half played out.”

Through the first two quarters, the redshirt senior quarterback was just 3-of-8 for 20 yards with an interception. Outside of the Schobert run, the offense only had 36 rushing yards. Something need-ed to change at halftime to get this team going again.

“We went through it and made a couple of adjustments,” Chryst said. “The first third down was something we just talked about at halftime, and guys went with it pretty good.”

The offense wasn’t the only unit in need of a boost, though. The UW defense let the Terrapins run for over 100 yards in the first half, and they needed to find their moxy once again.

“The coaches came in and let us know,” Schobert said. “First of all, made the adjustments and wrote ‘swag’ on the board and said we have to come out in the second half and play with swagger.”

“Vince [Biegel] gave a really pas-sionate speech, trying to get every-body fired up, and we came out here with an edge to try and take advan-tage of that.”

The Badgers came out of the break motivated and prepared. They strung together two long drives that ate up most of the third quarter clock and put seven points

on the board, while their defense held Maryland scoreless.

That carried over into the fourth quarter as Wisconsin’s offense found the end zone once again, led by a reinvigorated Stave. After his disappointing start, he went 12-of-16 for 168 yards and a touchdown in the second half.

His offense kept the Badgers in front while their defense stood strong until a late surge by the Terrapins brought the game

within seven. The UW special teams almost blew it on the ensu-ing onside kick that Maryland returned for a touchdown, but it was called back for an offsides penalty, and Wisconsin got the ball and ran out the clock.

It started with the special teams, and it was almost ended with the special teams, but all three phases came to play for the Badgers. It took them a few quarters to get going, but this was a team win for Wisconsin.
