The photo above pretty much shows everything you need to know about Saturday's game.
UW coach Bret Bielema saw Iowa's punt return team walk on the field and made the decision to have his punter bolt up field. Brad Nortman rushed 17 yards on a fourth-and-4 and the Badgers were in business.
They eventually scored the game-winner off this.
"Gutsy, man," Wisconsin safety Jay Valai said of his coach. "He's a Very, very gutsy coach. It worked to a T. Coach B and Coach Partridge, you know, working on that.
"For Coach B to call that is gutsy but that's why they pay him the big bucks. That's probably the biggest play of the game, to be real with you."
Pretty much everyone agrees, including me.
It's KCRG's John Campbell and me today.
