Wisconsin safety officially the fastest score in college football history (2024)

Who says it takes effort to score?

The Wisconsin football team scored the quickest points in college football history yesterday, as a clearly flustered Western Illinois return man muffed the opening kickoff and then stepped back into the end zone, resulting ina safety.

The play took only one second off of the clock, and placed the Badgers in the record books.

UW called timeout after the play was initially ruled a touchback, and then the officials in the booth overturned the call.
