INDIANAPOLIS — UWBadgers.com Senior Writer Mike Lucas offered his observations from Wisconsin's 38-31 loss against Penn State in the 2016 Big Ten Football Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday night.

Get it straight from the source by following @LucasAtLarge on Twitter.

UW was in position 2 potentially deliver KO with 28-7 lead & ball on PSU 43 with 3:25 left 1stH. But 3&Out opened door for late TD. Rally on

Shorthanded on DLine without Sheehy/James. Not an excuse. But was missing element to front 7 that couldn't mount pressure on Trace McSorley
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) December 4, 2016

Offense had spurts of controlling game.But inability to finish some key drives costly. Still would bet on converting 4th&short to stay alive

Defense has been on other side of snowballing effect vs Illini/Gophers. Once momentum swung couldn't make a play to reverse it. Credit PSU

All about seniors now & making sure 2 send them out with winning taste no matter bowl. Confident in this group bouncing back. Have all year
