MADISON, Wis., Oct. 4 (UPI) -- Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor scored on a quarterback keeper with 1:08 left to play Saturday to give the 12th-ranked Buckeyes a 20-17 win over No. 17 Wisconsin.

The loss ended the Badgers' 16-game home winning streak. Wisconsin had not lost at home since Nov. 12, 2005 and had the second-longest home winning streak in the nation, behind top-ranked Oklahoma.

Pryor passed for 145 yards on 13-of-19 for the Buckeyes (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten), who also had 163 rushing yards and a TD by Chris Wells.

Allan Evridge had 147 yards on 13-of-25 passing for Wisconsin (3-2, 0-2), with one touchdown and an interception. John Clay ran 10 times for 69 yards for the Badgers, while P.J. Hill carried the ball 16 times for 63 yards and a TD with 6:31 remaining in the fourth quarter that gave Wisconsin a 17-13 advantage.

After Pryor's TD, Wisconsin got the ball back with about a minute left, but on the first play Evridge threw the ball directly into the hands of Buckeye defensive back Malcolm Jenkins.
