Wisconsin defeated Nebraska 24-17 in overtime, making them bowl eligible for the 22nd straight season, the 3rd longest active streak in FBS. After trailing 14-0, the Badgers displayed grit, heart, and physicality to secure the win. The game ended with a pick by Purdy on the final play. Nebraska now needs to beat B1G West champ Iowa to reach their first bowl game since 2016. The win also allowed Wisconsin to retain the Freedom Trophy and become bowl eligible. The Huskers will face a crucial game against the Hawkeyes on Black Friday to determine their bowl fate.

It all comes down to Black Friday for the Huskers, who lose 24-17 in overtime at Wisconsin. Beat the Hawkeyes, and they’re headed to a bowl. Lose, and it’s a disappointing finish to a once promising season in Matt Rhule’s debut.
