Wisconsin retains Heartland Trophy in thrilling 28-17 win over Iowa

IOWA CITY, Iowa—On a crucial, potentially season-defining drive, the No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers came up big with a go-ahead score from the arm of Alex Hornibrook.

With under a minute left, Hornibrook found A.J. Taylor from 17 yards out on a bullet to take a four-point lead. Then with a late T.J. Edwards interception, senior Alec Ingold sealed a win with a touchdown off a fullback sweep for a 28-17 win over Iowa in Kinnick Stadium on Saturday night.

Wisconsin gained 415 yards on the evening. Hornibrook threw for 205 yards on 17-of-22 passing.
