ARKANSAS vs. WISCONSIN
ESPN'S TAKE
Jim Donnan Congrats to Bret Bielema and Wisconsin for a quality win against Arkansas. Bielema's 12-1 finish in his first year as a head coach is a remarkable feat. Arkansas had a good year; it's always tough when you lost your last three games, but LSU, Florida and Wisconsin will all finish in the top five or six in the final poll.

Quarterback John Stocco had a good passing game in the first half, especially with the pressure the Hogs were putting on him. The Razorbacks lost a little steam early in the game when McFadden was tackled on a long run and they missed a field-goal opportunity that would have given them the lead. Both teams did a good job tackling and containing the run game. Arkansas had too many penalties, and both teams had a number of turnovers. Wisconsin did a good job of getting a head start on Arkansas and played smart football.-- Jim Donnan

The Badger Dozen
The Capital One Bowl was supposed to feature two premier running backs -- Wisconsin's P.J. Hill and Arkansas' Darren McFadden. Instead, the Badgers relied on the passing game and a great defensive effort to finish with their first 12-win season. Story
