It turns out Nebraska's defense did some damage in Madison after all.
But rather than punish Wisconsin stars Russell Wilson and Montee Ball, one Huskers defender took on a less intimidating opponent: a towel dispenser in the airport.
Nebraska DT Chase Rome reportedly was cited for damaging a paper towel dispenser at the Dane County Regional Airport shortly before the Huskers boarded their flight back to Lincoln.
From the Omaha World-Herald:
I'll admit those paper towel dispensers can be annoying, especially the automated ones. But breaking one in the airport deprives everyone of dry hands. Not cool.
Needless to say, it was a rough night for Rome and the Huskers.

From the Omaha World-Herald:
The Dane County Sheriff's Office issued the ticket just before 12:30 a.m. Sunday, said Elise Schaffer, a spokeswoman for the Dane County Sheriff's Office. The ticket carries a fine of $326.50.
