ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -Â The No. 8 Wisconsin football team suffered its first loss of the season as No. 4 Michigan held on to beat the Badgers 14-7 on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.Â
Wisconsin (4-1, 1-1) had the ball at their 8 with 2:59 and no timeouts left with a chance to beat a third team ranked in the top 10 after topping LSU and Michigan State earlier this year.Â
"When you put it all out there, like everyone in this locker room did today, and it doesn't go your way, it stings," UW head coach Paul Chryst said. "But we've got something special here."
The Badgers went for it on fourth-and-10 from its 8, with no timeouts left, and Alex Hornibrook's deep pass was picked off by Michigan's Jourdan Lewis.
Lewis leaped to snatch the ball out of the air with his right hand and pinned it against his hip for an interception near midfield with 2:15 left to play.
Hornibrook, in his second start, threw a game-tying, 17-yard TD pass to Dare Ogunbowale midway through the third quarter.
But Michigan's Wilton Speight threw a tiebreaking, 46-yard touchdown pass to Amara Darboh midway through the fourth quarter that proved to be the difference.
UW senior Corey Clement became the 16th player in program history to rush for 2,000 yards in a career.Â
The Badgers' run of games against top-10 teams extends to three with a home game against No. 2 Ohio State on Oct. 15.Â
