1995 Wisconsin Badgers football team
American college football season
The 1995 Wisconsin Badgers football team was an American football team that represented the University of Wisconsin–Madison as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their sixth year under head coach Barry Alvarez, the Badgers compiled a 4–5–2 record (3–4–1 in conference games), tied for seventh place in the Big Ten, and were outscored by a total of 253 to 235. Against ranked opponents, they lost to No. 14 Colorado, No. 4 Ohio State, and No. 11 Northwestern, and defeated No. 6 Penn State. Wisconsin's 3–3 tie with Illinois on November 25 was the last tie in NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history as the NCAA implemented an overtime system following the season that eliminated the possibility of a tie. The Badgers were unranked in the final AP and Coaches polls.
The team's statistical leaders included quarterback Darrell Bevell (2,273 passing yards, 65.0% completion percentage), running back Carl McCullough (1,038 rushing yards, 4.4 yards per carry), wide receiver Michael London (41 receptions for 587 yards), kicker John Hall (48 points scored, 27 of 29 extra points, 7 of 14 field goals), and linebacker Pete Monty (92 solo tackles, 137 total tackles).

Why this record matters

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16152456. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995.
