Newt Gingrich — Hillary Shouldn't Spike the Football … Just Ask Wisconsin! (VIDEO)

And now time for some DEEP COLLEGE FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE … with Newt Gingrich

Here’s the deal … with Trump reportedly down in the polls, our photog asked Newt if it’s too early for Team Hillary to be “spiking the football” … aka going into victory mode too early.

That’s when Newt hit us with the deep NCAA response — “The University of Wisconsin tried that once and lost in overtime.”

Okay, fact is … we were a little perplexed at first — but after some inner-office detective work, we THINK he’s talking about a 2013 game between UW and ASU. 

Remember, the UW quarterback THOUGHT he spiked the ball with time running out to set up an easy game-winning field goal.

But the QB, Joel Stave, botched the play … and ASU won (Go Devils!).

Look, Newt’s trying to say it ain’t over ’til it’s over — but this was way more fun.

Sorry for the reminder, Stave.
