“We repped that pass this week and as a staff we kind of took a vote whether it would get thrown and caught, and we all voted yes,” Bielema said. “We didn’t know it would be a fourth-down call to put us in position to win the game. A lot of credit to our offensive coaches and players to make that happen.”
