MADISON, Wis. -- No. 20 Northwestern spoiled 21st-ranked Wisconsin's home finale as the Wildcats defeated the Badgers, 13-7, on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium. 

The Wildcats (9-2, 5-2 Big Ten) moved into a tie for second in the West Division with the Badgers (8-3, 5-2), who had won five in a row.

With 1:47 left, Joel Stave drove the Badgers from the 26 to the Northwestern 1. But Stave was forced to leave before Wisconsin's final play from scrimmage after getting hurt on a sack.

Bart Houston's pass to the end zone sailed just out of reach of Tanner McEvoy on fourth-and goal from the 11 with 2 seconds left, sealing the win for Northwestern.

Stave finished 20 of 34 for 229 yards. Jazz Peavy, a sophomore, had a breakout performance with five catches for 88 yards.

The Badgers' lone touchdown came from running back Corey Clement, as he scored on a nine-yard scamper in the third quarter. 

Northwestern's Justin Jackson had 35 carries for 139 yards on a chilly day, including an 8-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.
