October 15, 2005: Wisconsin 38, Minnesota 34

In one of the most memorable games in recent history, the Badgers shocked the Gophers and star running back duo Lawrence Marooney and Marion Barber III thanks to a blocked punt and fumble recovery in the end zone with under a minute to play that ended a fourth quarter comeback.

Jonathan Casillas blocked the punt and Ben Strickland recovered for the touchdown to erase a ten point deficit late in the fourth.

Just watch and enjoy.
