Wisconsin finished the regular season 9–2 overall (7–1 conference) and were sole champions of the Big Ten Conference for the first time since 1962 (the 1993 and 1998 championships were shared). They defeated No 22 Stanford , 17–9, in the 2000 Rose Bowl for the third Rose Bowl victory of coach Barry Alvarez 's tenure (and program history) to finish the season 10–2.
Ron Dayne gained 1,834 rushing yards as a senior. Dayne broke the NCAA Division I-A (now known as NCAA Division I FBS ) career rushing record in the final game of the 1999 season against Iowa . Dayne ended his career with 6,397 rushing yards, eclipsing the record set the previous year by Ricky Williams of Texas .
Dayne rushed for 200 yards or more in a game a dozen times, including his final game, a 17–9 victory over Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Dayne had 200 yards on 34 carries and was named the Rose Bowl's Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year.[ 1] Washington 's Bob Schloredt , Southern California 's Charles White , and Texas ' Vince Young are the others).
