The Badgers allowed
Indiana running back
Anthony Thompson to rush for 377 yards in a game on November 11.
[2] This broke the
NCAA Division I-A record and stood as a Big Ten Conference single-game rushing record for 25 years until it was finally broken by
Melvin Gordon (
Wisconsin ) in 2014.
[3] However, the 377 yards still stands as an
Indiana Hoosiers football school record.
