Wisconsin's offense was sputtering and pesky Illinois looked primed to end its losing streak when Badgers coach Bret Bielema made his team a bold locker room promise. "I told them at halftime, this is going to be one of the greatest memories you'll ever have because you were in such an adverse situation, and then come up and be triumphant," he said. That was enough to fire up Wisconsin (No. 17 BCS, No. 15 AP), which scored three unanswered touchdowns during the second half of a 28-17 victory Saturday. Montee Ball led the charge, rushing for 164 yards and scoring two of his three touchdowns after the break.
