MADISON, Wis. (AP) — It was a happy homecoming indeed as Wisconsin won its 10th-straight Big Ten game, marking the longest streak in school history. Jonathan Taylor ran for a touchdown and broke the 1,000-yard mark for the season, Alex Hornibrook passed for two scores and the No. 5 Badgers stayed unbeaten with a 38-13 win over Maryland on Saturday. 

Wisconsin (7-0 overall, 4-0 Big Ten) opened with a bang against Maryland (3-4, 1-3), as UW recorded its fourth interception return touchdown of the season, a feat that hadn't been done by the Badgers since at least 1950. Under heavy pressure, Max Bortenschlager's pass over the middle was intercepted by Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Edwards and returned 54 yards for a touchdown to open the scoring with 12:18 left in the first quarter.

Playing in his seventh contest at Wisconsin, Taylor tied a major college football record shared by five other backs for fewest games by a freshman to get to 1,000 yards. He finished the day with 126 yards on 22 carries against the Terps. 

Hornibrook shook off an interception on his second attempt of the day, finishing 16 of 24 for 225 yards to balance the offense.
 
An 11-play, 73-yard drive set up in part by eight runs and a penalty ended with Bortenschlager's 10-yard touchdown pass to Taivon Jacobs to get Maryland to within 28-10 about midway through the third quarter.

Wisconsin, though, sets a high bar in the ground game, and Maryland just couldn't keep up. Fullback Austin Ramesh's 1-yard touchdown run with 9:10 left in the game ended an 11-play, 76-yard drive, giving Wisconsin a three-score lead that extinguished any faint upset hopes.

Up next: Wisconsin is at Illinois on Oct. 28. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. (CT).
