NASHVILLE, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Auburn cornerback Carlos Rogers made the key defensive play Wednesday as Auburn beat Wisconsin, 28-14, in the Music City Bowl.
With 8:52 left in the fourth quarter, Lee Evans jumped over Rogers' back in the end zone for spectacular 12-yard scoring pass for the Badgers. Jim Sorgi then hit Owen Daniels for the conversion pass that tied the contest, 14-14.
On Wisconsin's ensuing possession, Rogers deflected a deep pass intended for Evans into the hands of safety Will Herring for an easy interception.
The Tigers (8-5) needed just 76 seconds to drive 87 yards for the winning score as Jason Campbell set up a two-yard score by Ronnie Brown with completions of 51 yards to Jeris McIntyre and 28 yards to Silas Daniels.
Brown scored twice for the Tigers, whose defense overpowered Wisconsin. End Reggie Torbor led that effort with seven tackles and 3 1/2 sacks.
The Badgers (7-6) dropped to 7-2 in bowl play under Barry Alvarez, who was denied his 100th victory at Wisconsin.
