Then it was the Wahoo Ds turn. The next time the badgers had the ball they would force a pick which lead to the TD that gave them a 14-10 lead with about 45 ticks to go until half.
What happened next gave badger fans a quick glance of hope that was just as quickly snatched away from them. On the first play from scrimmage badgers qb Scott Toldien launched a hail mary that was miracuously pulled in at the Wahoo 5 yard line. Suddenly it looked like the badgers were guna take the lead when Scott Toldiens luck ran out. The next pass was picked off and looked like it would be a pick 6. However UVA LB Denzel Burrell just did not have the speed to out run badgers hb John Clay. Burrell was brought down in UW territory with 0:01 on the clock. Cavs kicker Robert Randolf knocked thru a 32 yd field goal ansd Virginia would take a 17-10 lead to the locker room.
The 2nd half started with a field goal drive from Wisconsin. Then came the drive of the game.
