Michigan scores 1st Top 10 win since ’08

-

Wilton Speight threw a tiebreakin­g, 46-yard touchdown pass to Amara Darboh midway through the fourth quarter, and Jourdan Lewis had a spectacula­r, onehanded intercepti­on as Michigan beat Wisconsin 14-7 in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Jim Harbaugh helped the Wolverines (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) beat a Top 10 team for the first time since their Rich Rodriguez-led team rallied to beat the ninth-ranked Badgers in 2008.

Wisconsin (4-1, 1-1) had the ball at its 8 with 2:59 and no timeouts left with a chance to beat a third team ranked in the top 10. The Badgers went for it on fourthand-10, and Alex Hornibrook’s deep pass was picked off by Lewis.

Lewis leaped to snatch the ball out of the air with his right hand and pinned it against his hip for an intercepti­on near midfield with 2:15 left to play.

Alabama 34, Kentucky 6

Tennessee 34, Georgia 31

In Athens, Ga., Jauan Jennings hauled in a 43-yard Hail Mary from Joshua Dobbs on the final play, giving No. 11 Tennessee a stunning win over No. 25 Georgia after the Bulldogs appeared to win it on a long TD pass of their own with 10 seconds remaining.
