MADISON, Wis. -- Backup quarterback Alex Hornibrook led No. 9 Wisconsin to three scoring drives in the second half, helping the sluggish Badgers avert an embarrassing upset with a 23-17 win on Saturday over Georgia State.Hornibrook took over for Bart Houston late in the third quarter with Wisconsin stuck in an offensive malaise. The freshman finished 8 of 12 for 122 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Penniston with 7:25 left to give the Badgers the lead for good, 20-17.Wisconsin (3-0) heads into Big Ten play next week at No. 12 Michigan State with questions at quarterback.

Im very disappointed, coach Trent Miles said.THE TAKEAWAYGEORGIA STATE: The Panthers can build on a respectable effort against a Big Ten power after losing to Ball State and Air Force in its first two games. With two of Wisconsins top running backs hurt, a defense that was allowing an FBS-worst 394.5 yards rushing per game gave up just 187 on Saturday. On offense, coach Miles team softened up Wisconsins rough-and-tumble defense with quick and short passes over the middle.WISCONSIN: Dont put the blame for Wisconsins early offensive problems solely on Houston.The Badgers need to work on their offense inside the 30 after having to settle for two field goals on two first-quarter drives. They came away scoreless on two other drives after losing a fumble near the goal line and missing a 30-yard field goal at the end of the first half.We just werent in rhythm. Thats it, Houston said.Starting tight end Troy Fumagalli and running back Taiwan Deal both left with right leg injuries after Wisconsins first drive, and the team was already without top running back Corey Clement, who sat after rolling his left ankle in the 54-10 win over Akron on Sept. 10.UP NEXTGEORGIA STATE: After a bye next week, the Panthers wrap up a three-game road swing with a trip to Sun Belt Conference favorite Appalachian State on Oct. 1.WISCONSIN: The two-week honeymoon period is over in an otherwise brutal schedule.
