He even had an impressive 81-yard run to open the second quarter, which led to a Karan Higdon touchdown. Higdon rushed for more than 100 yards in his fifth consecutive game of the season and for the 10th time in his career. 

Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook struggled all night. He was sacked twice by the Michigan defense, which contributed to him completing 7 of 20 passes for two interceptions (one a pick-six). Badgers receiver Kendric Pryor had a 33-yard touchdown run in the second and A.J. Taylor caught a 3-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but it was too late for the Badgers.
