Madison, Wis. — The MSU football team stole a win at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, topping Wisconsin, 16-13, in overtime on a 12-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Bennie Fowler.
The Spartans took over at their own 25 after a field goal by the Badgers with less than five minutes remaining in regulation.
Behind an 8-of-9 passing performance by junior quarterback Andrew Maxwell, MSU drove down the field and scored on a five yard shovel pass from Maxwell to junior running back Le’Veon Bell to force overtime.
Wisconsin got the ball to begin the extra period before the defense forced a field goal attempt. The 43-yard boot from kicker Kyle French gave Wisconsin a 13-10 lead before MSU got their chance from the 25.
With the win, MSU ends a two-game losing streak, improving to 5-4 overall on the season with a 2-3 mark in the Big Ten.
