Big Ten finally wins Big Ten/ACC Challenge
December 3, 2009
It took 11 years, but the Big Ten finally beat the ACC in the annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge, which pits teams from each conference against one another.
Illinois overcame a second-half 23-point deficit to beat Clemson on the road and unranked Wisconsin upset #5 Duke in Madison to put the Big Ten in position to win. The victory was sealed by #16 Ohio State’s “easy” win against Florida State in Columbus.
The Big Ten won the Challenge, 6-5. It was the first time that Duke lost in the Challenge.
