Wisconsin, somehow someway, snuck by Minnesota in a 20-17 overtime win at Camp Randall. Collin Larsh’s 30-yard field goal during Wisconsin’s possession in overtime kept Paul Bunyan’s Axe in Madison.
Badger legends from the past and 2021 signees that will lead this program into the future were all reacting to a last-minute victory. One of Wisconsin’s all-time greats and current Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was all over Twitter hyping up the 154-yard rushing day for Garrett Groshek.

Other Badgers in the NFL were also locked in, including Dolphins LB Vince Biegel:

Future Badgers chimed in on Twitter, including 2021 signee WR Markus Allen:

Deacon Pe’a Hill, a 2021 Wisconsin QB signee, loved the effort from backup QB Chase Wolf after he was forced into the game when Graham Mertz went down:

The win moved Wisconsin to 3-3 on this strange season, but more importantly kept the Axe in the place that all Badger alums and future stars want it to be.
