Purdue (4-6, 3-4) has to win its final two games to qualify for a bowl game. Two years ago in Madison, the Boilermakers forced multiple red zone turnovers and even blocked a punt, but scored just nine points. With injuries at key positions, backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell leads the offense. He went 34-for-50 with 271 yards and two touchdowns vs. Northwestern in a 24-22 win last weekend. The Boilermakers outscored the Wildcats 17-6 in the second half. Wide receiver David Bell, who leads the Big Ten with 65 catches, had 14 catches for 115 yards.
For Wisconsin (8-2, 5-2), it’s all about winning its final two games to make it to the Big Ten Championship game. While the Boilermakers depend on their passing game, it’s all about running the ball for the Badgers. The team is averaging 235.1 rushing yards per game due in large part to Heisman hopeful Jonathan Taylor. His 5,634 rushing yards are the most all-time by an FBS player before their senior season. Wisconsin beat Nebraska 37-21 last weekend after quarterback Jack Coan passed for 162 yards and one touchdown and Taylor ran for 204 yards on 25 carries. Taylor has rushed for 540 yards in two games against Purdue, including a hefty 321 last year.
