Wisconsin Badgers hold off Arkansas 17-14 in Capital One Bowl

Recap: Darren McFadden broke free on his first carry and raced into the Wisconsin secondary. Defensive back Jack Ikegwuonu did what few players have - he ran down the Arkansas star at the 9.

With its running game stifled and its quarterback under constant pressure, the sixth-ranked Badgers did just enough to hold off No. 12 Arkansas 17-14 Monday. John Stocco threw two first-half touchdown passes, and Wisconsin (12-1) survived despite being held to minus-5 yards rushing.

The biggest play might have been Ikegwuonu's tackle. McFadden's 45-yard run gave the Razorbacks the ball inside the Wisconsin 10, but Arkansas (10-4) came away with no points when Jeremy Davis missed a 30-yard field goal.

``I know that McFadden is a very fast football player,'' Badgers coach Bret Bielema said. ``For us to be able to track him down and pull him down ... may have changed the entire landscape of the game.''....more
