Wisconsin won consecutive postseason bowl games for the first time ever with a 34–20 win over Duke in the Hall of Fame Bowl.

Michigan State later forfeited victory after University President Peter M. McPherson had their 5 season wins self forfeited due to his claim of a 'lack of institutional control'.

Wisconsin's 31–19 win over Michigan in 1994 was the last time Wisconsin won in the confines of Michigan Stadium, until the 2010 Badgers defeated Michigan 48–28 in Ann Arbor.
