MADISON, Wisconsin (Ticker) -- Wisconsin turned to P.J. Hillwhen the going got tough.


Hill scored the go-ahead touchdown midway through the fourthquarter Saturday as the Badgers held off Iowa, 17-13, in arugged Big Ten Conference opener for both teams.


Hill carried 29 times for 113 yards as Wisconsin extended thenation's longest winning streak to 13 games and improved to 21-1in the last 22 home night games since 1995.


Trailing 10-7 mid-fourth quarter, Wisconsin (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten)turned to its bread-and-butter. An all-conference preseasonselection, Hill imposed his will on a tough Hawkeyes defense.

The 5-11, 227-pound Hill carried 10 times for 43 yards, andcapped the drive with a two-yard score to put the Badgers up,14-10, with 9:42 left.


It was the first rushing touchdown allowed by the stingy Iowa(2-2, 0-1) defense, which entered the game ranked fifthnationally and third in scoring defense (6.0).


Iowa's Darrell Johnson-Koulianos nearly returned the ensuingkickoff for a score but was tripped up by the kicker atmidfield.


Two plays later, Jake Christensen hit James Cleveland on acrossing route for 25 yards down to the Wisconsin 14. However,the drive stalled and Iowa had to settle for a 37-yard fieldgoal from Daniel Murray to cut the lead to 14-13 with 3:13remaining.


On their next drive, the Badgers continued to pound the Hawkeyeswith Hill until reserve running back Lance Smith broke off a30-yard run down the left sideline to the Wisconson 42.

Wisconsin stretched the lead to 17-13 on a 40-yard field goal byTaylor Mehlhaff with 2:02 left.


Iowa turned the ball over on downs on the ensuing possession,sealing Wisconsin's win.


The Hawkeyes entered the game as the only team in the nation notto allow an offensive touchdown. That ended in this one, butit not without a fight.


Trailing, 3-0, after Murray's field goal with 2:28 left in thesecond quarter, Wisconsin finally found a groove on offense.

Tyler Donovan completed four straight passes for 52 yards,driving the Badgers to the Hawkeyes 27. Hill then ripped off a17-yard run and appeared to be headed to the end zone, but theball was stripped at the 1. It rolled into the end zone, and ascrum ensued with Wisconsin recovering it for an apparenttouchdown.


But after a review, the officials ruled there was an inadvertantwhistle during the end-zone scrum and placed the ball at the3-yard line.


It made no difference, as Donovan hit Travis Beckum on a slantfor a three-yard score and a 7-3 lead with 43 seconds left inthe second quarter.


Johnson-Koulianos helped Iowa answer by making a spectacularone-handed grab down the left sideline for a 21-yard score and a10-7 lead with four seconds left in the half.


Christensen completed 17-of-37 passes for 169 yards and onetouchdown, while Donovan completed 12-of-23 passes for 138 andwith one touchdown and one interception.
