Smart move: Badgers LB Ryan Connelly solidifies role with 'huge play'

MADISON, Wis. -- On the official, printed drive summary, the play hardly registers as anything more than an afterthought among 122 others during Wisconsin's 16-14 victory against LSU last Saturday.

The recap simply notes a third-and-8 call went for minimal yardage and led to a Tigers punt:

Brandon Harris pass complete to L. Fournette for 3 yards to the LS36 (Connelly, Ryan).

What that short synopsis can't detail, however, is the way in which a single tackle changed the course of the game -- and potentially the season -- for two teams.
