In an AFC wilcard matchup that included 12-4 Wisconsin and 10-6 Waunakee, the Wildcats come out on top 23-21. Waunakee scored twice in the first quarter to jump out to a 14-0 lead. Wisconsin pulled it to 20-14 early in the 4th qtr behind a Steven Jackson touchdown run. Late in the game with Wisconsin still trailing 20-14, the Stooges were hurt by a fumble on a punt return by Chris Carr that gave Waunakee a chance to spread the lead to two scores. Wisconsin scored late to pull within two but there was too little time remaining. Neither Kurt Warner or Peyton Manning had great games but Warner was able to stay away from the mistakes while Manning threw 3 costly interceptions. The longest pass in the game was only 17 yards until Peyton Manning hooked up with Sam Aiken for a 61 yd strike with just :52 remaining in the game. Congratulations to Bill Ferguson on a great season in his first season after moving from Madison to Wisconsin. Waunakee will now travel to the Mashers in a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game.
