Wisconsin vs. Purdue Prediction
Wisconsin leads the all-time series 52-29-8.
The Badgers have owned this series as of late as Wisconsin has beaten Purdue 16 straight meetings dating back to 2003.
Wisconsin will enter play on Friday night with a 2-1 record.
Wisconsin lost their two games against Washington State on the road, which is not a bad loss as the Cougars are a team ranked inside the top 25.
This is the first year with former Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell at the helm. Fickell has enjoyed much success as a college coach and will attempt to build this Wisconsin program back up.
Tanner Mordecai is the man responsible for leading this Badgers offense. Mordecai, who is a transfer from SMU, has played okay early in the season, throwing for 702 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Wisconsin's strength is its backfield. It has been a split backfield thus far between Chez Muesli and Braelon Allen. The two have combined for 523 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground.
Wide Receiver Chimere Dike leads the Badgers with 161 yards receiving.
In typical Wisconsin fashion, this is a hard-nosed and talented defense.
Purdue enters play with a 1-2 record on the young season.
The Boilermakers feel as if they very well could be 2-1 this season.
Purdue lost a week ago at home to Syracuse by a final of 35-20.
Texas transfer Hudson Card leads the Boilermaker offense. Card has thrown for 825 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.
Running back Devin Mockobbe leads the team in rushing yards with 186.
Wide receiver Deion Burks leads the team with 221 yards and three touchdowns.
Purdue has struggled on defense this season, which is the main reason that they are 1-2.
Wisconsin vs. Purdue Pick
Purdue will struggle to move the ball facing this Wisconsin defense.
Wisconsin will run the ball early and often, and while they may have success, they will string together long drives that keep the clock moving.
This number is too high not to take a swing at and will go under tonight.
