Guerendo, Allen lead Wisconsin to 23-10 win over Maryland

MADISON, Wis. -- , Wisconsin’s players are making a strong argument that interim head coach Jim Leonhard deserves to have the job for keeps. Isaac Guerendo ran for an 89-yard touchdown and combined with Braelon Allen for 233 yards rushing as Wisconsin defeated Maryland 23-10 on Saturday. Wisconsin (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) improved to 3-1 under Leonhard, who was promoted from defensive coordinator after the firing of Paul Chryst last month. “Of course, I think there’s nobody more deserving than him,” said outside linebacker Nick Herbig , who had two of Wisconsin’s five sacks. “It blows my mind that he’s not the (permanent) head coach yet.” With each team throwing for just 70 yards amid windy and rainy conditions, Wisconsin’s superior ground attack made the difference.
