Game Week Countdown - Wisconsin #2

This time we'll head to Madison for the 1999 match-up. ESPN College Game Day was there as well. 

The Michigan offense actually clicked early in this one - bolting out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Tom Brady hit Aaron Shea for the first score and David Terrell took a reverse 45 yards to paydirt for the second.

In the 2nd quarter the Badgers hit a field goal then blocked one from Michigan. Then Ron Dayne had his best run against the M defense - breaking a tackle near the line of scrimmage and rambling the rest of the way for 6. I say 6 because Michigan blocked the PAT, keeping the score at 14-9.

Late in the 3rd Brady mounted a 10 play 91 yard drive - capped by a TD pass to DiAllo Johnson. The Jeff Del Verne kick made it 21-9.

Early in the 4th the M defense made a big 4th-down stop on Dayne to keep the 2 score lead.

With under 2 minutes left Brooks Bollinger scrambled and scored for Wisconsin to make it 21-16.

Anthony Thomas recovered the onside kick attempt and M ran out the clock for the win.
