FINAL: No. 6 Wisconsin Torches Michigan, 48-28

The fourth quarter of Wisconsin-Michigan is nearly as busy as the third, with both teams trading points, but (spoiler alert!) the Badgers pull away, and a key Michigan player (Darryl Stonum) leaves the game with an injury.

The first play of the final quarter is a three-yard Montee Ball run for a touchdown to stretch Wisconsin's lead to 38-21. Another big kickoff runback for Stonum, and a promising Michigan drive is stopped short by a Denard Robinson interception.

Bret Bielema's not about to let even a 17-point lead get away, and he sends his boys down the field for a short drive and a 40-yard field goal. Wisconsin leads, 41-21.

Stonum returns the next kickoff 17 yards, but is injured at the end of his efforts and has to be walked off the field. Robinson takes control of the Wolverines' next drive, hitting Roy Roundtree for a 28-yard gain, breaking off a 14-yard run of his own, and hitting Roundtree again for 21 more yards. After a brief panic with a fumble that's recovered by Robinson, he hits Roundtree on the hands one more time for a 28-yard touchdown. The score is 41-28, and that's the last we'll see of Robinson today.

Not the last we'll see of Montee Ball, however. A clock-eating drive shared entirely between him and James White ends with a four-yard touchdown by Ball to wrap this one up, and all that's left is for Tate Forcier to come in for a meaningless series, and we're through in the Big House. Wisconsin wins, 48-28.
