A critical Zach Terrell interception and an incredible performance from Wisconsin’s Troy Fumagalli doomed the Broncos’ hopes at bringing home a Cotton Bowl Trophy to WMU.
With 13:58 left in the fourth quarter and the Broncos starting from their own three yard line, Terrell’s pass from his own end zone was intercepted by T.J. Edwards, putting the Badgers in the red zone with a seven point lead. The WMU defense held strong for two plays before Alex Hornibrook found Fumagalli for a sensational catch in the back of the end zone to push the lead to 14.
Terrell and the Broncos would answer, however, with a long drive deep into Wisconsin territory, ending in a touchdown from Terrell to Corey Davis.
