MADISON, Wis. — They danced away their demons between the third and fourth quarter.
Twenty long years had passed since the Michigan football team traveled to Madison, Wis., and escaped Camp Randall Stadium victorious, not since a field goal in the wanning seconds secured a win in the fall of 2001. Classes of Wolverines had come to Ann Arbor and been tormented by these pesky Badgers, and blowout losses the last two seasons created legions of skeptics who assumed this trip would be the same.
How wrong the doubters were. As the iconic song “Jump Around” blared through speakers to mark the start of the fourth quarter, it was coach Jim Harbaugh’s team that danced to the stadium-rocking tune.
