Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen carries the ball down the field during a football game between Iowa and Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023. The Hawkeyes defeated the Badgers 15-6. Allen totaled 103 yards agains Iowa.

Iowa football scored every point outcome possible on Saturday against Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium. Following an 82-yard rushing touchdown from Leshon Williams in the second quarter, Iowa kicker Drew Stevens nailed the extra point, and then a field goal. Scoring six, three, and one point, the Hawkeyes needed a safety to pull off the feat and found their answer in defensive tackle Yahya Black.

With the Badgers deep in their own territory, the Minnesota native barreled his way through the line of scrimmage and flattened Wisconsin backup quarterback Braedyn Locke for a sack in the end zone, resulting in a safety. Black even forced a fumble on the play, but the loose ball was recovered by a Badger in the end zone to prevent yet another touchdown. Black finished the contest with four total tackles but left the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent arm injury.
