The Greatest Moments In Wisconsin Football History

With a 31-yard scamper against Iowa, Ron Dayne became college football's all-time leading rusher, eclipsing the mark set by Texas running back Ricky Williams in 1998. Dayne's run came during a 41-3 rout of Iowa that clinched Wisconsin's second straight trip to the Rose Bowl. Dayne, who still holds the record, went on to win the Heisman Trophy, then ran for 200 yards in a 17-9 Rose Bowl win over Stanford.

John Clay ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns and David Gilreath ran the opening kickoff back 97 yards for a score. Wisconsin's lead dropped from 21-0 to 21-18, but the Badgers bullied their way to the game's final 10 points before a sea of red-clad fans stormed the field.
