ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Wilton Speight threw a tiebreaking 46-yard touchdown pass to Amara Darboh midway through the fourth quarter and Jourdan Lewis had a spectacular, one-handed interception as No. 4 Michigan held on to beat No. 8 Wisconsin 14-7 on Saturday.
Coach Jim Harbaugh helped the Wolverines (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) beat a top-10 team for the first time since 2008.
Wisconsin (4-1, 1-1) had the ball at its 8 with 2:59 left and no timeouts with a chance to beat a third team ranked in the top 10.
The Badgers went for it on fourth-and-10 from the 8, with no timeouts left, and Alex Hornibrook’s deep pass was picked off by Lewis with 2:15 left to play.
Hornibrook, in his second start, threw three interceptions. The freshman quarterback did throw a game-tying, 17-yard TD pass to Dare Ogunbowale midway through the third quarter.

The Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) overcame a week full of potential distractions and a slow start to run away from the Wildcats (2-3, 1-2).
