The streak is dead and so is Northwestern’s shot at a Big Ten West title.
Wisconsin ran for 190 yards and forced a late Clayton Thorson fumble to pick up its first win at Ryan Field this millennium, pounding the Wildcats 21-7.
Corey Clement ran for 112 yards and Jazz Peavy racked up 119 scrimmage yards, including a 46-yard touchdown run, to lead the No. 8 Badgers (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten). Austin Carr put up another monster game for Northwestern (4-5, 3-3), catching 12 balls for 132 yards and his 10th touchdown of the season, but Justin Jackson was held under 50 yards on the game and Thorson completed just 54 percent of his 50 passing attempts.
