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. Connor Assalley added four field goals for the Cyclones (1-2), who put forth an underwhelming performance ahead of a brutal stretch in the Big 12.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Karan Higdon ran for 136 yards and a touchdown in the first half to help No. 19 Michigan build a huge lead and it coasted 56-10 over Nebraska.

Michigan rested Higdon in the second half after he missed the previous game with an injury.

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.

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.

DETROIT (AP) — Mikie Mahtook hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 5-4 in Victor Martinez’s final major league game.
