Sixth-ranked Wisconsin did just enough to hold off No. 12 Arkansas, 17-14.
John Stocco threw two first-half TD passes and the Badgers (12-1) survived despite being held to minus-5 yards rushing. Wisconsin won 12 games in a season for the first time in school history and finished the year with nine straight wins. Taylor Mehlhaff opened the scoring for the Badgers with a 52-yard field goal, a career long and a game record.
Felix Jones answered quickly for Arkansas with a 76-yard touchdown run. Stocco threw touchdown passes of 22 yards to Paul Hubbard and 13 yards to Travis Beckum, giving the Badgers a 17-7 halftime lead. Jones, who quietly surpassed 1,000 yards this season alongside McFadden, made it 17-14 on a 12-yard run in the fourth.
Jones finished with a career-high 150 yards on 14 carries, outplaying McFadden and Wisconsin’s P.J. Hill. Stocco, the game’s most valuable player, went 14-of-34 for 206 yards with two interceptions.
