The University of Wisconsin football team finished its 2020 season with an exciting 20-17 overtime victory over Minnesota, despite a COVID-truncated season. This win was especially memorable for Aaron Witt, who grew up in Minnesota and had previously been committed to the Gophers in high school. Witt highlighted the cold, night-time atmosphere and the rivalry aspect of the game as some of his favorite memories from the match.
In a recent interview with BadgerExtra, Witt, who is currently listed as a redshirt junior in his fifth year at Wisconsin, reflected on the game and the standout performance of former walk-on turned captain, running back Garrett Groshek. Witt praised Groshek for his big-time performance in the game.
The victory over Minnesota marked a significant achievement for the Badgers as they aimed to hit the .500 mark for the season. Despite no fans being in attendance due to COVID restrictions, the intense overtime game added to the excitement and atmosphere of the matchup. Witt’s experience playing in this game was a highlight in his football career.
The win served as a testament to the team’s resilience and determination in a challenging season, and the players, including Witt and Groshek, will surely remember their performance in this game for years to come.
