INDIANAPOLIS – In one of the stranger delays you will see in a football game, the Big Ten title bout between Ohio State and Wisconsin was postponed for nearly 15 minutes at the start of the fourth quarter after a section of turf in the Buckeye end zone became dislodged following a Badger touchdown.

The field was treated for several minutes as the two teams plotted their strategy for an upcoming two-point conversion, which the Badgers ultimately converted on when play resumed.
