IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Alex Hornibrook threw a 17-yard TD pass to A.J. Taylor with 57 seconds left and No. 18 Wisconsin bounced back from last week’s loss by rallying past Iowa 28-17. Jonathan Taylor had 113 yards rushing and Alec Ingold ran for a 33-yard score with 22 seconds left for the Badgers, who also got a major leg up the Hawkeyes _ perhaps their biggest threat in the Big Ten West race _ in their league opener.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Zeb Noland threw for 233 yards and a TD, David Montgomery had 107 yards rushing and a score and Iowa State held off Akron 26-13 for its first win of the season.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two former members of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska’s governing council have been sentenced to probation for misusing federal money. The Sioux City Journal reports that 48-year-old Tillie Aldrich and 47-year-old Jessica Webster were each sentenced Friday in Omaha’s federal court to five years of probation and ordered to pay restitution. Webster must repay $89,000 and Aldrich must repay $13,404.
MOORLAND, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in north-central Iowa say a woman’s body has been pulled from inside a submerged car. Television station KCCI reports that Webster County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to a pond east of Moorland after a caller reported that a car ran off Highway 20 and into the pond Friday morning. The woman’s body was found when the car was pulled from the water. An autopsy has been ordered.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State honored slain golf star Celia Barquin Arozamena with an elaborate ceremony ahead of the Cyclones’ football game against Akron. Iowa State’s band used a formation that spelled out Barquin’s initials. Both teams wore a decal on their helmets in her memory. A tribute to Barquin played on a video screen before a moment of silence. The 22-year-old from Spain was killed on Monday while she played at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The amount of water being released into the lower Missouri River will be temporarily reduced because of recent heavy rains in southeastern South Dakota and northwestern Iowa. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it is reducing the amount of water being released from the Fort Randall and Gavins Point dams to allow area rivers to return to normal levels.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — With their season seemingly on the line in late September, Wisconsin showed that the Big Ten West will likely run through Madison yet again.
Alex Hornibrook threw a 17-yard TD pass to A.J. Taylor with 57 seconds left and the 18th-ranked Badgers bounced back from last week’s loss by rallying past Iowa 28-17 on Saturday night.
Jonathan Taylor had 113 yards rushing and Alec Ingold ran for a 33-yard score with 22 seconds left for the Badgers (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten). They also got a major leg up on the Hawkeyes — perhaps their biggest threat in their quest for a third straight West title — in the league opener.
“It wasn’t a perfect game by any means, but it was a great team win,” Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said. “They stepped up and made plays when they had to.”
Wisconsin marched 88 yards in 10 plays on the game-deciding drive, capped when Hornibrook found an open Taylor for his third touchdown of the game.
Hornibrook finished 17 of 22 passing for 205 yards, and his three TDs were a season high.
The Badgers took advantage of a short field caused by an Iowa fumble to go up 14-10 on Hornibrook’s 12-yard TD pass to Danny Davis. The Hawkeyes responded with Nate Stanley’s second touchdown throw to Noah Fant, from a yard out, to make it 17-14 with 1:37 left in the third quarter.
Iowa (3-1, 0-1) seemed to have the Badgers pinned, but Wisconsin overcame one of the nation’s best defenses in winning its fifth straight in Iowa City.
Stanley threw for 256 yards on 14 of 23 passing, but he was picked off on a deflected ball with 38 seconds left. Ingold then broke free, making the final margin seem a lot bigger.
“They had a good blitz dialed up against us … it was just a tough play and they capitalized on it,” Stanley said of his pick.
THE TAKEAWAY
Wisconsin: Don’t count Wisconsin out of the playoff yet, though after losing last week to BYU 24-21 the Badgers are still way, way out of the picture. Beating Iowa in Iowa City isn’t easy to do — just ask Michigan in 2016 and Ohio State in 2017 — and with road games left against Michigan and Penn State, the opportunity is there for Wisconsin to build a solid postseason resume. The Badgers just can’t lose again. “I think when we’re on the road, we know we’ve got each others’ back and we play for each other,” Ingold said after Wisconsin’s 10th straight road win.
Iowa: The Hawkeyes blew a golden opportunity to move to 4-0, join the Top 25 and start thinking about a special season. But the schedule sets up nicely for the Hawkeyes to end up 9-3 or maybe even 10-2, despite playing four of their next five on the road. “It’s a tough loss…as anyone saw, we had some critical errors,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. The Hawkeyes lost a pair of fumbles and had a turnover margin of minus-3, very unusual for a program that prides itself on protecting the ball.
THE NUMBERS
T.J. Hockenson had three catches for 125 yards for Iowa. …Jake Ferguson caught four passes for 58 yards, and his 6-yard TD grab completed a 95-yard drive that opened the scoring. …Iowa. …Wisconsin had eight penalties for 68 yards.
PIVOTAL MOMENT
On a 3rd-down-and-5 in the middle of Wisconsin’s 88-yard drive late in the fourth, Hornibrook found Garrett Groshek for a 5-yard catch that gave the Badgers a first down by barely the nose of the ball. Hornibrook found A.J. Taylor waiting over a fallen Iowa defender three plays later. “I was proud of the way guys stayed in it. We needed to be to give ourselves a chance,” Chryst said.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Wisconsin might move up a few spots by winning at night at Kinnick Stadium.
HE SAID IT
Iowa found itself on the Wisconsin 5-yard line with fourth down and 1 to go in the first quarter. The Hawkeyes sent Stanley on a dive, but it went nowhere. Though it was early, the points the Hawkeyes left on the field came back to haunt them.
“We wanted to play it that way,” Ferentz said. “I’m not sure about the spot we got, but there was a lot of football after that.”
UP NEXT
Wisconsin is off next week. The Badgers host Nebraska on Oct. 6.
Iowa is also heading into its bye week. The Hawkeyes play at Minnesota on Oct. 6 in its first road game.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tyler O’Neill hit a solo home run with two outs in the 10th inning and the St. Louis Cardinals held their playoff position, rallying past the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Saturday. Yadier Molina also homered for St. Louis, which began the day 1 ½ games ahead of Colorado for the second NL wild-card spot. The Cardinals, who have seven games remaining, started three games behind Milwaukee for the top wild-card slot. St. Louis won for the fifth time in six games. San Francisco has lost three in a row. O’Neill hit his ninth homer, connecting off Mark Melancon (0-3) to give the Cardinals their 11th walk-off win of the season. Carlos Martinez (8-6) pitched two scoreless innings.
Adam Wainwright, making his third start for St. Louis since elbow inflammation put him on the disabled list, gave up four earned runs on eight hits over 6 1-3 innings. He struck out six and did not walk a batter.
Molina tied it with a two-run homer off Dereck Rodriguez in the seventh inning. It was Molina’s 19th home run, but only his second at home. Aramis Garcia, who had four hits, gave the Giants a 3-2 lead with a two-run single off Wainwright in the seventh. Rodriguez, the son of Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez, gave up four runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out two and walked one.
Cardinals infielder Kolten Wong was held out of the lineup as a precautionary measure. He left Friday’s game with a sore hamstring and is listed as day-to-day. “(He’s) in pretty good shape,” manager Mike Shildt said. UP NEXT: Right-hand pitcher Miles Mikolas (16-4, 3.01) will face Left-hand Pitcher Andrew Suarez (7-11, 4.24), in the final game of the three-game series on Sunday. Mikolas is 16-0 when receiving two or more runs of support. Suarez is 3-2 with a 2.67 ERA in his last five starts.

MOORLAND, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in north-central Iowa say a woman’s body has been pulled from inside a submerged car. Television station KCCI reports that Webster County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to a pond east of Moorland after a caller reported that a car ran off Highway 20 and into the pond Friday morning. The sheriff’s office says deputies and a firefighter arrived within three minutes and found the car completely submerged. The arriving officers did not immediately find anyone in the car. The woman’s body was found when the car was pulled from the water. An autopsy has been ordered.
The woman’s name had not been released by midday Saturday.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two former members of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska’s governing council have been sentenced to probation for misusing federal money. The Sioux City Journal reports that 48-year-old Tillie Aldrich and 47-year-old Jessica Webster were each sentenced Friday in Omaha’s federal court to five years of probation and ordered to pay restitution. Both pleaded guilty in July. Webster must repay $89,000 and Aldrich must repay $13,404.
The two are part of a group of nine former and current council members charged with giving themselves bonuses out of $388,972 in federal money. Officials say the bonuses were paid from Indian Health Service funds meant to provide health care to members of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska, who reside on the Omaha Reservation in Macy in northeastern Nebraska and in western Iowa.
