Clement carries No. 10 Wisconsin to 17-9 win over Iowa

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Don't count Wisconsin out of the Big Ten West race just yet. Corey Clement ran for 134 yards and a touchdown and the 10th-ranked Badgers used a stout defense to beat Iowa 17-9 on Saturday, snapping a two-game skid. Alex Hornibrook had 197 yards passing for the Badgers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten), who won for the fourth straight time in Iowa City. Back-to-back losses to Ohio State and Michigan put Wisconsin in a hole in its own division. But the Badgers survived a late Iowa surge -- and next week they get division favorite Nebraska at home. "They persevered. They kept playing, and they did it together," Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said. Backup Bart Houston threw a touchdown pass for Wisconsin, and Clement's 1-yard TD run put the Badgers up 14-6 midway through the third quarter. But Wisconsin was carried by its defense.
