Wisconsin defeats Nebraska in overtime thriller

MADISON — It was another electric atmosphere at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday night, another overtime thriller, but this time the home team prevailed.

The No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers defeated the No. 7 Nebraska Cornhuskers 23-17 after redshirt senior running back Dare Ogunbowale 11-yard touchdown run in overtime. Redshirt sophomore safety D’Cota Dixon broke up a fourth-down pass in the end zone to secure the victory.

Ogunbowale carried the Wisconsin offense, gaining 120 yards on 11 carries. On the evening, the Badgers rushed for 223 yards, though they only passed for 114 with the combo of Alex Hornibrook and Bart Houston.
