Defense helps Wisconsin shake off upset bid by Iowa

Finally facing a team that doesn’t run one of those pesky spread offenses, Wisconsin’s defense played as advertised for the first time this season. Wisconsin (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) held Iowa to 228 yards and 13 first downs in a 17-13 victory on Saturday night. An equally stubborn Iowa defense kept the game close, but the Badgers’ defense kept the Hawkeyes from cashing in on turnovers.
