John Clay had 121 yards rushing and two touchdowns, powering No. 24 Wisconsin past 14th-ranked Miami 20-14.
Clay ran through, over and around the Hurricanes to help the Badgers (10-3) earn their first victory over a ranked opponent this season and claim a big win for the Big Ten Scott Tolzien threw for 260 yards, and Montee Ball added 61 yards rushing for a Wisconsin team touted as too big and too slow for the dynamic Hurricanes. Miami’s Jacory Harris struggled before throwing a touchdown pass to Thearon Collier with 1:22 remaining.
The Hurricanes recovered the onside kick, but Harris threw incomplete on fourth down to end any hope of a comeback. Harris, who threw for 188 yards, was slowed by an injured right thumb, left leg brace, and a Badgers team that smothered him with four sacks. Miami also lost its starting running back, Graig Cooper, to a torn ACL in the second quarter.
