“Hail Mary, full of grace. Our Lord is with thee. …” One prayer got answered late Saturday night in East Lansing, Mich., and one national championship dream got blown up, all in the space of four seconds.
….A miracle is what it would now take for the Badgers to return to national title contention. Although that dream is off the table, a terrific season certainly is not. If the Badgers are able to win their remaining five games, they would go to the first-ever Big Ten championship game, with a Rose Bowl berth on the line. A possible opponent in that Big Ten title game? Michigan State. Better say your prayers, Sparty.
