Maryland secured a dramatic 24-21 victory over Wisconsin at SECU Stadium after scoring 10 points in the final 2 ½ minutes of play, according to Yahoo Sports.
The comeback win, which marked the second consecutive year Maryland defeated the Badgers, was sealed by a 30-yard field goal from Sean O’Haire with 29 seconds remaining.
The late rally was set up when junior linebacker Trey Reddick forced a fumble by blind-siding Wisconsin quarterback Ryan Hopkins with 1:54 left on the clock.
Hopkins was injured on the play, forcing Colton Joseph to take over for the remainder of the game, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Wisconsin, which fell to 6-4 overall and 4-3 in Big Ten play, managed only 201 total yards during the contest.
Filling in for injured starting quarterback Malik Washington, Maryland’s Cardell Williams completed 21 of 23 passes for 183 yards and one touchdown.
That touchdown, a 39-yard pass to Preston Howell, tied the game with 2 minutes and 11 seconds remaining.
The game also saw significant injury setbacks for the Badgers, including an apparent left leg injury to defensive back Javan Robinson and a right leg injury that forced safety Matt Jung to be carted off the field, as reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
These absences added to a growing list of sidelined players for Wisconsin, including pass rusher Sebastian Cheeks and cornerback Jai’mier Scott.
Despite the loss, Wisconsin had held a 21-14 lead early in the fourth quarter following a 1-yard touchdown run by Darrion Dupree and a successful two-point conversion catch by Eugene Hilton.
Maryland, which improved to 4-6 on the season, overcame 11 penalties for 111 yards to secure the win.
The Badgers will now look to regroup after a frustrating finish in College Park, noted the official team site.
