A late fourth-quarter touchdown from Alex Hornibrook to A.J. Taylor put the Badgers in front 21-17 as they went on to beat Iowa 28-17 at Kinnick Stadium. 

On the Hawkeyes’ final drive, Nate Stanley’s pass went off the fingertips of Ihmir Smith-Marsette and was intercepted by T.J. Edwards all but sealing the win for the Badgers. 

Iowa falls to 3-1 (0-1) on the season, while Wisconsin improves to 3-1 (1-0).
