Winning home finale for Woodson
The Badger football team continues to get ready for Wednesday’s Holiday Bowl in San Diego.

On the final play of the first half, Oakland quarterback Derek Carr completed a pass to running back Latavius Murray. In comes Charles Woodson on offense. With a victory on January 3 at Kansas City, the Raiders could finish at.
“I wanted him to stiff-arm and run it in”, defensive end Khalil Mack said. “It was a little much for me. That’s the way it goes sometimes”. On the next play, Rivers hit Ladarius Green on a 30-yard touchdown pass but the play was ultimately overturned because Green did not maintain possession throughout the catch.
After Charles Woodson’s last home game at the O.co Coliseum came to a close, he addressed Raiders fans and thanked them for their support. Though this is my last game in the Coliseum, just know that I’ll never leave you.
But in the end, the night belonged to No.24, who after it was over, shared the moment he made the decision that this would be his final season in the National Football League. Oakland got the ball to start the fifth period.
The Raiders held the Chargers rushing attack under 100 yards, but only recorded one sack. On first-and-goal from the 10-yard line, the Silver and Black called his number on a reverse. “That’s not my area”, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said of the relocation prospects. He’s a great Raider and to be able to send him out the right way, to be able to cap off a special evening like this. The Chargers converted that into a Donald Brown 1-yard touchdown run, the seventh straight time a Carr interception was converted into a touchdown. The St. Louis Rams are seeking to relocate in the Los Angeles area and build a stadium in Inglewood. “Doesn’t make it any easier losing another one like that”. The 39-year-old defender is tied for fifth most interceptions since 1940 with 55 – every player with more INT is in the Hall of Fame: Paul Krause, Emlen Tunnell, Rod Woodson, Night Train Lane.
On first down, Carr hit Crabtree in the left corner of the end zone, giving Oakland an 18-17 lead with 4:42 left. A two-point conversion from Carr to Seth Roberts gave Oakland a 20-17 advantage with 4:41 left to play. On Monday, he announced that he would retire after this season. Woodson got a loud ovation as he was introduced last with the defensive starters and was the only Oakland captain for the pregame coin toss.
Woodson did the best thing, though, forgoing his shot at glory, and being a team guy.
The Goats: The Chargers’ Denzel Perryman will get some heat for his personal foul against Michael Crabtree on the Raiders’ overtime drive. He returned to the Raiders, finishing his outstanding career in Oakland.
Most of this game was tiresome and uneventful, and especially uneventful for Woodson, who was in on no major plays – and had a few bad missed tackles on some others.

But the Chargers weren’t done scoring, as receiver DONTRELLE INMAN (8 catches for 82 yards and 1 score) took a Rivers pass and beat Raiders cornerback DAVID AMERSON to the end zone for a 7 yard score.
