ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - With its running game stifled and its quarterback under constant pressure, Wisconsin had little room for error against Arkansas in the Capital One Bowl. So when punter Ken DeBauche had a punt blocked in the second quarter of Wisconsin's 17-14 victory, the Badgers were in trouble until DeBauche picked up the loose ball, scrambled around and completed a pass.
"That play helped solidify Ken's place as one of my all-time favorites," Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said. "That play may have changed the landscape of the game ... that shows why he's one of the more intelligent players I've been around.
John Stocco threw two first-half touchdown passes for the sixth-ranked Badgers, but the blocked punt summed up the game a little better. The Razorbacks had several chances to seize momentum, and each time, Wisconsin held them off.
