Today in Wisconsin Football History: Stacco’s Surprise

Today in Wisconsin Football history we go back to the 2005 season to revisit an All-Time Classic at Camp Randall. On September 24th, 2005 the Wisconsin Badgers came into the game 3-0 to take on the 14th ranked Michigan Wolverines.

The first quarter started with little action as neither team put up any points, but the second quarter Michigan jumped out to a 13-3 lead. Wisconsin running back Brian Calhoun, the nations leading scorer at the time, had been kept out of the end zone for the entire first half.

The third quarter was a lot of the same as the defensive battle continued for the two schools, after an 11 play drive the Badgers converted a field goal from kicker Taylor Melhoff to cut the score to 13-6.
