Wisconsin redshirt senior kicker Rafael Gaglianone had a chance to breathe life to a team that showed little-to-none on Saturday afternoon.
With less than a minute to go and a three-point deficit, Gaglianone hooked a 42-yard field goal hard left that would have tied the game at 24.
Gaglianone’s miss wasn’t the team’s first, second, or twentieth mistake UW committed as a whole, but it was their last as the Badgers lost 24-21 to the Cougars inside Camp Randall Stadium.
These moments can show a person’s character, and Gaglianone displayed his by owning his missed opportunity by apologizing to his teammates after the game.
