Ferguson Jenkins Rangers Jersey . -- Corey Clement ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, a big-play defense pitched a second-half shutout, and No. 5 Wisconsin beat Minnesota 31-17 on Saturday for its 13th straight win in the annual border rivalry.The Badgers triumphantly lifted Paul Bunyans Axe again, the trophy that goes to the victor in the most-played rivalry in major college football.Wisconsin (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten, No. 6 CFP) turned in a stalwart defensive effort in the second half after getting outplayed in the first and falling behind by 10 points at halftime.In the fourth quarter we just kind of just locked in, cornerback Sojourn Shelton said after a team postgame ceremony with the axe. You know what, no more. The rest speaks for itself.The comeback served as an exclamation point for an already momentous weekend. Wisconsin wrapped up the Big Ten West and a trip to next weeks league title game after Nebraska lost to Iowa on Friday night. The Badgers will face Penn State in Indianapolis.Mitch Leidner threw four interceptions in the second half for Minnesota (8-4, 5-4). The protection around him crumbled as the Badgers mixed up their defensive pressures.On offense, Wisconsins running game finally caught up in the fourth quarter.Jazz Peavy went 71 yards on a jet sweep down the right sideline to the Minnesota 11. Two plays later, Clement bowled into the end zone from 2 yards to give Wisconsin the lead for good, 24-17, with 6:42 left.Shelton, a four-year starter playing in his last home game, had two interceptions. Shelton had an entertaining 40-yard, across-the-field return to the Minnesota 19 after his first interception with about 13 minutes left.Clement scored his first touchdown of the game three plays later to tie it at 17.Certainly the takeaways were huge, and the ability of our offense to finish in the second half, coach Paul Chryst said.Backup quarterback Bart Houston played the entire second half for Wisconsin because of an injury to starter Alex Hornibrook. Houston finished 9 of 14 for 123 yards.For Minnesota, Drew Wolitarsky had four catches for 76 yards, including a 35-yard reception after tipping the ball to himself and advancing to the Wisconsin 22 late it the second quarter. It set up Leidners 3-yard touchdown run with 53 seconds left for a 17-7 halftime lead.In the second half with the ... turnovers, you cant do that versus a real good team on the road. They took advantage us, coach Tracy Claeys said.It was the 126th meeting in a series that dates to 1890.THE TAKEAWAYMinnesota: The rough fourth quarter overshadowed a terrific first half for Minnesota. Leidner threw off the Badgers active defense early with keepers around the edges, including his scoring run late in the first half. He finished 9 of 26 for 158 yards and a score, with 46 yards rushing on 16 carries.A five-win season in the Big Ten, even with a softer schedule, is a confidence builder for the future. But the Gophers still cant catch up to their biggest measuring stick.Wisconsin: The Badgers had perhaps their worst first half of the season, with Minnesota following Wisconsins blueprint for success. The defense missed key tackles, and the running game couldnt get going. The left-handed Hornibrook departed after taking a shot to his right shoulder after throwing an incompletion near the sideline late in the second quarter. Hornibrook then fell to the turf, with the back of his helmet slamming hard into the ground.UP NEXT:Minnesota: Awaits its bowl destination. The Gophers will play in its fifth consecutive bowl game, tied for longest streak in program history.Wisconsin: Plays No. 7 Penn State in the Big Ten championship game Dec. 3 in Indianapolis.---More AP college football:

Billy Joe Saunders insists he will not price himself out of fighting world middleweight No. 1 Gennady Golovkin.Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) has not fought since he won the WBO world middleweight title from Irishman Andy Lee via points in December.But promoter Frank Warren is lining up a first defence for Saunders against either Russian Artur Akavov (16-1, 7 KOs) or American Rob Brant (21-0, 14 KOs) on the undercard of Tyson Fury-Wladimir Klitschko II at the Manchester Arena on October 29.Akavov and Brant are ranked 11th and 7th by the WBO respectively and as long as Saunders is successful and unification fight with Golovkin is being planned for February 2017.At the start of the year, Golovkins team made Saunders an offer -- believed to be £2.2million -- to face the Kazakh knockout machine in a world title unification clash.But Saunders, 27 turned it down because he wanted more to fight Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs), the WBA-WBC-IBF world middleweight champion.Im ready to fight him [Golovkin] where ever, in England, in America or in a field, said Saunders, who has been kept out of action by a hand injury. Theres nothing that can get in the way of stopping this. Im not pricing myself out, I will fight any man born.Im fighting on October 29. Give me a week and I will fight him then. As long as I can shake my ring rust off in this next one I will fight him then.Golovkin, 34, stopped Saunders fellow Briton Kell Brook in five rounds in London last Saturday to stretch run of consecutive knockouts to 23.
Elvis Andrus Rangers Jersey. But Saunders insists he was encouraged by what he saw of Golovkin, who is regarded as the most feared boxer in the world.Everyone is raving about him but I took a lot of confidence from what I saw at the weekends, Saunders said.Im a fully fledged middleweight and not a blown up welterweight. Kell was up on the scorecards and showed a lot of heart and will. His corner were right to pull him out. Kell did well and established himself and all my credit goes to him.Golovkin did what he had should have but I see stuff that I can certainly capitalise on. People are beat before they get in the ring with him. But it is definitely not like that with me. Hes had it rough but so have I. Ive been dragged up.Hes a good puncher, a good puncher and has a good chin. But hes a man and hes definitely beatable.Warren has already began talks with Golovkins promoter Tom Loeffler, but the California-based Kazakh is first being lined up to face American Daniel Jacobs in November.Theres will on both side to make that fight happen and I would prefer it in Britain, said Warren. The money that was offered last time was not enough. We felt he should get more money. Now Golovkin has fought in the UK, think those numbers are achievable. ' ' '
