The Wisconsin Badgers were in a battle against the Illinois Fighting Illini, and it was anybody's game for nearly all of it. While the Badgers led, it was a one-score game going into the fourth quarter. The final score ended up being 24-10, so what happened? According to star defensive back Matthew Bailey, it was the touchdown in the third quarter that sucked the life out of his team.
When asked if the Darrion Dupree, 84-yard touchdown run is what sucked the life out of the Illinois defense, he matter-of-factly stated, "Yeah."
#illini DB Matt Bailey on whether he thought the 'long Wisconsin touchdown run sucked some life out of the defense':
Yea.
