NEXT WEEK: PURDUE...WILL WE KICK ASS? MOST DEFINITELY!
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Wisconsin Badgers and Minnesota Gophers have seen just about everything in their 115-year rivalry. Well, maybe now they have.
Jonathan Casillas blocked a punt and Ben Strickland recovered it in the end zone with 30 seconds left to complete a stunning rally and lift No. 23 Wisconsin to a 38-34 victory over No. 22 Minnesota on Saturday."When you think you've seen it all, you haven't seen it all," Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez said.With the Golden Gophers leading 34-31, Justin Kucek lined up to punt at the Minnesota 5. Kucek dropped the snap, picked up the ball and tried to get the punt off, but Casillas raced through for the block. Strickland then recovered it for the winning score.
It was a shocking turn of events for the Badgers (6-1, 3-1 Big Ten), who appeared to be headed for their second loss in a row after failing to complete a comeback bid in last week's 51-48 loss at Northwestern.
