The Bushido Bet was correct in calling Wisconsin as the winner, but unfortunately, 31 combined points didn't break the over of 45.5. The Wisconsin Badgers have won their 2nd straight Capital One Bowl and 2nd straight bowl victory over a SEC team (the Badgers beat Auburn last year 24-10) beating Arkansas 17-14.
Wisconsin's coach, Bret Bielema in his first year on the job won his first bowl game. Badger kicker, Taylor Mehlhaff hit a 52 yard career long and Capital One Bowl field goal record to draw first blood in the game. The Badgers did a great job of containing Darren McFadden. McFadden did break away for a 45 yard run with his first touch of the ball but he was "robbed" by Jack Ikegunonu at the 9-yard line. The Badgers held the Razorbacks to a field goal attempt which they missed. Badger QB John Stocco had two first half-TDs giving Wisconsin a17-7 lead at the half.
Wisconsin has their first 12-win season in school history this year. Congrats to Sime and everyone at the Country's #1 Party School (as voted by Hef's magazine.)
