The Wisconsin Badgers completed an improbable comeback to win 24-17 in overtime over the Nebraska Cornhuskers, improving to 6-5 on the season and gaining bowl eligibility, while also winning the Freedom Trophy.

It was another ugly start for the Badgers, who went down 14-0 in the first quarter with porous play on both ends, which had fans demoralized, given the way the last two games went.

However, it all turned around with a fourth down stop defensively, and the Badgers were ultimately able to complete the comeback for the victory.

What aided the turnaround for Wisconsin?
