It was a valiant effort and a controversial finish, but the Huskers cannot break through their Camp Randall curse.

First Quarter

Wisconsin won the toss and elected to defer. Tre Bryant kneeled the kickoff in the end zone and the Huskers got the ball at the 25. Both teams traded three-and-outs, with Marcus Newby knocking the ball out of Try Fumigalli’s hands to force the punt.

Nebraska’s second possession started with a nice return by De’Mornay Pierson-El out to the 29. Tommy had his second pass knocked down on second down. His third down scramble was short of the sticks and the Huskers punted again.

Nebraska’s terrible punt return defense showed up as Clement appeared to break 20 tackles to return the ball almost to midfield. Hornibrook dropped back to pass and immediately hit a 30 yard bomb to Fumigalli (Dedrick Young in coverage). On the next play Bradrick Shaw rumbled 21 yards for the Badger touchdown, with Young and Josh Banderas biting on the jet sweep fake. The kick was good.
