16:53 has to be one of the most incredible moments in sport not just Badgers history. How the last 2 minutes of that Minnesota game panned out were simply amazing and I was able to be there and saw it all happen with my own eyes. Pretty cool.
I think #1 should be Scott Starks' fumble return against Purdue 12:12, given Orton had the first down and all Purdue would need is three kneeldowns (UW was out of TOs). That play won an award for national play of the year. Making it extra special is that Purdue, ranked #5 at that time, has sucked continuously for the 19 years since.
Never in college history has any team had 3 record setting running backs MONTE BALL JAMES WHITE and Melvin Gordon and don't forget 5 nfl starting offense lineman.... thanks for the memories guys
If you were in Wisconsin when Dayne took the all time rushing mark this was a special decade for football in Wisconsin and in Green Bay a sleeping giant had finally awoken on top of it all!
One that might be missing is Matt Bernstein's big game against Penn State. A fullback filling in at tailback rushes for 123 yards on a College Game Day showcase while fasting for Yom Kippur. Defiantly not as big as some of these, but that hurtle over the linebacker will forever been ingrained in my memory
I cannot exactly date it: I would guess mid 1980's. My memory is Michigan at Wisconsin. 31 seconds left in the 1st half. Badgers either kick or punt. Michigan receiving team muffs the ball near the goal-line, badgers recover and convert to an instant touchdown, and extra point. Badgers kick off, and exact same thing happens again. Another instant touchdown and extra point. Badgers kick again, and I don't recall how it happens but before the end of the half the Badgers have possession of the ball in field goal range. Final play of the half - field goal. 17 points in 31 seconds. Took the wind right out of Michigan (if I remember the opponent correctly). The other interesting statistic of the game (other than the badgers won) was that there was a tie for the leading receiver for the Michigan Quarterback.... A badger defender. Film/video of those 31 seconds exist somewhere. I've saw it on TV back in the day.
Badgers vs LSU was the greatest NCAA football game I ever watched, it forced ESPN to stop sleeping on the B1G and the Badgers, and exposed how overrated LSU was, and almost predictably Fournette was not only stoppable, but he became a bust in the NFL while Corey Clement may have went undrafted, he won a super bowl with the Eagles! It was a ground and pound smashmouth game, low scoring, where even field goals were desperately needed points. The Badgers defense for 59 out of 60 minutes played the best defense EVER! And let's not even get into how many future NFL players were on that defense! For better or worse, that 2016 Badgers team had: Vince Biegel, TJ Watt, Ryan Connelly, Jack Cichy, Natrell Jamerson, Nick Nelson, Loudermilk, Leon Jacobs, TJ Edwards, and Zach Baun! AND THAT'S JUST ON DEFENSE! SOME OF THOSE GUYS WEREN'T STARTING YET!
The thing I remember the most about the Michigan win is Joe Panos caring for a young woman that had nearby been crushed by the mob wanting to rush the field.
@@cloutboibailz When my high school team won the state championship in 1998 (at Camp Randall), I ran out and celebrated with our QB and RB (yes, I was not a starter)... the rest of the team made their way to us and we ended up under the "pile".... screaming "get off" I was thinking about this "crush".
Nebraska been a big 10 bottom dweller since joining 14 yrs ago.....regardless the coach can't tackle and qb's are TO MACHINES...but new coach will turn it around.....but now with free agency and nil may not work out I mean what African American wants to attend a state 95% white and Nebraskas subsidized farmers can't compete or try to match the other top 50 schools nil payments...finally with all the Kaos created the players should have been paid years ago....
Hardcore Badger fan since the 1980's, so hopefully I have some perspective! This is a great video! It's hard to define "greatest moment." Does that mean the greatest play? Greatest performance (many plays?). Greatest upset? Most meaningful win? I really commend you for putting a combination of all of these. I cannot disagree with any of your choices, or order of them, for that matter. I totally agree that the 1994 Rose Bowl win stands as the greatest moment in Badger history -- until they enter the playoff and/or win a national championship. Last note: Love the shoutout to the Dave McClain era with Wisconsin's first bowl win. Unfortunately it is hard to find video, but including the wins over #1 Michigan and also Ohio State in '81 would be cool.
I agree, it is hard to find footage on the Badgers since they really didn't become the powerhouse they are now because of Barry but I didn't want to leave out most of the stuff from the 90s.
Gosh, in hindsight that Graham Mertz game gave us such home and crushed it so absolutely

Thank you for putting the Bevil TD run in the 94 Rose Bowl where it needed to be
Proud to be a Badger and proud to say I was there in person for 11 of these top 20 moments…and 8 of the top 10!
So many great plays. Badger football at its best!

I like your format wherein a moment could be more than one play. Nice touch.

I hate how this hasn’t needed to be updated since, need that to change this season.
We have a great opportunity to upset Bama at home week 3. 🙏

Honorable mention three sack Jack of course
Go Badgers!
Surreal experience being able to storm the field against #1 Ohio St
Here really early from recommended. Go Badgers

Remember that one game that graham mertz was good? What the heck happened to him?
Cannot believe you put graham mertz in the top 20
This video is like pretty old, at the time I thought he was the future. Now I feel embrassed knowing how bad he ended up being.
@@cloutboibailz In fairness it was a great performance. Really sucks that he couldn't build upon it

Jonathan Taylor?
Ron Dayne was the best to watch. The 🚂

Great game but Fournette isn’t close to being a bust.
James white monte ball and Melvin Gordon BEST 123 PUNCH IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL EVER. THANKS GUYS FOR THE MEMORIES
From 1990 to present, not "of all time," but still a great video.
And yes, I recognize that the bowl win vs. K-State was pre-1990.
Hard to find specific plays on UA-cam from that long ago and let's be honest, there wasn't many great moments for Badger football pre 1990.
The thing I remember the most about the Michigan win is Joe Panos caring for a young woman that had nearby been crushed by the mob wanting to rush the field.
On wisconsin
the video of the Michigan stampede should not have been included.
I never heard about it until my parents brought it up to me. I heard it was wild and many people got injured.

What about Bohlig to Mack to beat Nebraska?!
Now this is a guy who knows his Badger football history.
@@PackerBronco73 or 74? If so l was there.
We have the greatest running backs ever. Since Alvarez took over, our running backs have been amazing. How do we get quarterbacks to match that. 🤔🤔🤔
Don't say "All Time" if you're focusing on Alvarez. Wisconsin football existed before Barry Alvarez.
The 1st 2nd and 3rd Rose 🌹 Bowl wins in the 90s need to be 1 2 and 3 respectively. Then 4 should be the 1963 Rose Bowl game
The OSU choking our QB game... pump fake and Evans beating C. Gamble (who we should have drafted as the Packers)!!!!!
You should do Wyoming Cowboys please
Yes my mum’s from there! Go pokes!
Hi Bailz. Come over and play madden
Mertz is not in the top 20 anything
Lee evens lost $MILLION BY COMING BACK AND THEN BLOWING OUT A KNEE in a worthless spring game...Alvarez owes YOU SOME $$$
Sadly 5* QB Mertz only good game...just as Florida is finding out ain't got it
Nebraska been a big 10 bottom dweller since joining 14 yrs ago.....regardless the coach can't tackle and qb's are TO MACHINES...but new coach will turn it around.....but now with free agency and nil may not work out I mean what African American wants to attend a state 95% white and Nebraskas subsidized farmers can't compete or try to match the other top 50 schools nil payments...finally with all the Kaos created the players should have been paid years ago....
Worst coach in Wisconsin history Gary Anderson, Melvin Gordon should’ve had 500 yards
