TCU’s 2011 Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin was a classic. It was a close, competitive game, and more importantly the Frogs won. CollegeFootballNews.com recently put out their all-time top 10 list of BCS bowls, and TCU vs. Wisconsin comes in at number six.
6. 2011 Rose Bowl
TCU 21 … Wisconsin 19
What Happened: TCU held on to win a thrilling Rose Bowl as LB Tank Carder tipped a two-point conversion attempt that almost certainly would’ve been completed to a wide open receiver. With only two minutes to play and with just one time out left, UW tried the onside kick, but the Horned Frogs recovered and ran out the clock. The two teams traded punches in the first half with Andy Dalton finding Bart Johnson for a 23-yard touchdown and ran for a four-yard score, while the Badgers started off the scoring with a 30-yard Philip Welch field goal and added a one-yard John Clay scoring run. UW owned the second quarter holding on to the ball for 13:30, but appeared to lose track of time and settled for a Welch field goal to pull within one going into halftime. TCU increased its lead to 21-13 on a one-yard Luke Shivers run in the third, but the Badger defense stiffened up the rest of the way and the offense marched on a ten play, 77-yard drive culminating in a five-yard Montee Ball touchdown run to set up the critical two-point attempt.
