Camp Randall 100: Lou Holland

Running back was star of show in Badgers’ thrashing of No. 1 Northwestern in 1962

The Camp Randall 100 is an exclusive list celebrating 100 people who have shaped Camp Randall Stadium's history across the realms of sports, music, culture and beyond. A new honoree will be revealed each day over the final 100 days leading up to kickoff of the Wisconsin football team's season opener with Utah State on Friday, Sept. 1. The Camp Randall 100 reveal is part of a year-long celebration of the history of the iconic stadium, which opened in 1917.

MADISON, Wis. — Pat Richter and Ron Vander Kelen were the dynamic duo, the headliners for a Wisconsin team that would go on to play in the Rose Bowl to cap an magical 1962 season.

The catalyst behind the Badgers' biggest win along the path to Pasadena wasn't Richter or Vander Kelen, however. It was running back Lou Holland.

Holland took the drama out of a much-anticipated matchup between the eighth-ranked Badgers and Northwestern, scoring three touchdowns in what became a 36-7 rout of the nation's No. 1 team.

Read more about the man who led the Big Ten in scoring in back-to-back seasons in Holland's Camp Randall 100 profile.
