As a redshirt freshman starter, Wisconsin’s Brooks Bollinger quarterbacked the Badgers to the 2000 Rose Bowl, the second consecutive trip for the Big Ten champions. The Badgers beat Stanford, 17-9. Bollinger wound up being a four-year starter in Madison and was drafted in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. Today Bollinger is still playing professionally in the UFL with the Florida Tuskers.
