37. Wisconsin 37, Michigan 21 (2007)

It was Senior Day and the Badgers were 7-3 after losing three of their last five. Michigan had won eight in a row and climbed back up to No. 12 in the country after two losses to start the season, including the embarrassing defeat to Appalachian State.

With Mike Hart sidelined with an injury, Michigan struggled to run the football and the Wolverines were forced to throw the ball 41 times. Henne was hurt after just five passes and he was replaced by Ryan Mallett.

On Henne’s last pass of the game a little past midway through the first quarter, Henne was intercepted by Shane Carter.

It took the Badgers five plays to travel 55 yards and it ended with a Tyler Donovan touchdown pass to Travis Beckum to give the Badgers the lead. It would be the first of four consecutive possessions in which Wisconsin would score on.

A Donovan touchdown rush midway through the second quarter gave the home team a 17-0 lead, but Michigan would cut it to 17-7 on a touchdown pass from Mallett to Mario Manningham. The future Super Bowl hero would go onto have two scores in the game.

Bucky would drive down the field and put up three points right before halftime to make the score 20-7 at the break.

With the score 23-7 early in the fourth quarter, Michigan faced a 3rd-and-9 from its own 3-yard line. Mallett went back to pass from his own end zone and found Manningham down the right sideline and he went 97 yards to cut it to 23-14.

The score would get even closer as Mallett found Adrian Arrington in the zone from 26 yards out at the halfway point of the final quarter to cut what was once a 17-point Badgers lead down to just two.

After a Wisconsin punt, Michigan was facing a 3rd-and-29 from its own 11 after a sack by Matt Shaughnessy. There would be no big play for the Wolverines this time as Jack Ikegwuonu intercepted the Mallett pass to set the Badgers up with great field position at the Wolverines 33.

It would be a drive of four plays with Zach Brown getting the ball each time and running it in from six yards out to give Bucky some breathing room.

The Badgers would deliver the dagger a minute later when they turned Michigan over on downs and took over on the visitor’s 2. Brown needed just one play to seal the deal and deliver the knockout punch to a 37-21 Wisconsin win.

The Badgers would once again retain Paul Bunyan’s axe the following week in Minneapolis to close out a 9-3 regular season.
