COL FB: Wisconsin 48, Michigan 28

Ann Arbor, Mich. -- James White and Montee Ball combined for 354 rushing yards and six touchdowns Saturday in fifth-ranked Wisconsin's 48-28 victory at Michigan.

White scored twice and gained 181 yards, and Ball racked up 173 yards and four touchdowns in a game in which the Badgers (10-1, 6-1 Big Ten) finished with 558 yards of total offence to 442 for Michigan (7-4, 3-4).

Scott Tolzien was 14-of-15 passing for 201 yards, although the Badgers only ran one pass play in the entire second half.

The win was the sixth in a row for Wisconsin, who can wrap up at least a share of the Big Ten title with a win over Northwestern next weekend.

Michigan's Denard Robinson was 16-of-25 passing for 239 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also ran for 121 yards and two TDs. He set an NCAA single-season rushing record for quarterbacks with 1,538 yards. He broke the previous mark of 1,494 yards set by Beau Morgan of Air Force in 1996.
