Purdue Boilermakers at Wisconsin Badgers, Oct 31, 2009 11:00 AM CDT
-
It appears that Phillip Welch will kick today for the Badgers, although groin injuries can be tricky in cold weather. Welch is fully dressed and looked good in warmups, hitting 1-of-2 attempts from 57-yards out.
-
Look for Issac Anderson to get some work on kick returns today, although Gilreath should take the first one. I still think this change should be made on punt returns, not kick returns, but Bret Bielema must have his reasons.
-
Curt Phillips will go in at quarterback in the third series this afternoon NO MATTER WHAT. Even if Tolzien is 10-of-10 for 150 yards in his first two drives, Phillips will play in the third series. And even if it is actually the fourth series of the game, Phillips will play in the third series. OK, just kidding. I have no idea if this will happen or not today.
-
Finally, we didn't get Hammer and Rails prediction up yesterday (mainly because I couldn't find it), but we now have it. H&R is going with Wisconsin 21, Purdue 20.
We'll be here all game long. Feel free to leave your commentary and predictions below.

Purdue fumbles on 3rd down
Keith Smith fumbles after the catch and it was picked up by Valai and returned to the Purdue 25 yard line before he fumbled it out of bounds.
Ruling on the field is UW ball at the 25 but the original fumble is under review. It could be ruled an incomplete pass.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
The call is reversed
Incomplete pass but Purdue will have to punt.

OK, the Gilreath thing...
I’m not even going to go off on it today. I’m tired of complaining about it. But how this guy still has his punt returning duties… come on.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
I almost s#$% bricks when I saw he took that punt back into the endzone

So instead of having the ball at the Purdue 25, the Badgers take over a their own 3
Thanks Gilreath.

And 3 and out
Purdue gets the ball at the UW 47

Purdue goes for it on 4th and 2 and the pass is incomplete
Valentin called for unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for spiking the football.
Wisconsin takes over at their own 46 yd line.

Devin Smith makes the INT and gives UW possession at the Purdue 20

DAVID GILBERT BLOCKS THE PUNT! TOUCHDOWN AARON HENRY
That was ridiculous. We’ve heard about this kid’s athleticism, but Gilbert just jumped over three guys to block that punt.
And and unselfish play by Fenelus to block the punter while Henry picked the ball up and scored.
24-0 Wisconsin.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
I don't have a problem with the block in the back call on Hampton there
It was close. My problem, however, is that the back judge was standing right there and decided not to call it. The far sideline judge then threw his flag late.
If it is a debateable call and the guy standing right there decides it wasn’t a penalty, then you can’t have a ref on the far side call the penalty.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
They don't really need to make adjustments. They just need Elliott to play better and the WRs to stop dropping the ball.
But no, I’m not worried. The UW defense is playing too well to give up 24 points the rest of the way even if the Purdue passing game gets it together.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Let's play the game...
how many timeouts will Bielema leave on the scoreboard this half?
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Why the hell did Purdue not call timeout there?
And now they call it when the clock was already stopped?
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
That was something Bielema would have done.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
HALFTIME 24-0 WISCONSIN
John Clay has 102 yards and 2 TDs on 20 carries.
Tolzien is 5-of-10 for 50 yards. Sacked twice.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Question to ponder during halftime...
Should Bielema come back with Curt Phillips in the second half?
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
I'm not convinced
that Curt Phillips would be any better. I like this plan of Clay and then Tolzien as a backup.
79120 is attendance by the way.
Not a sellout. Interesting.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Attendance seems light at Will’s Northwoods Tap in Chicago. Beer Garden is empty. Guess it’s too cold.

These guys can't catch a pass... it's amazing
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Wisconsin takes over only 33 seconds into the half
That’s pretty quick for a 3 and out.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Do the Badgers even throw a pass in the second half?
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. -- Bruce Bartlett
If Phillips goes in there maybe.
But expect a heavy dose of Montee Ball here in teh second half.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
That goes as a 4-yard TD run for Clay, his 3rd of the day
No will we see Phillips?
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Now Bucky is dressed up as Batman.
Not sure he can pull it off like that dude on NBC’s “Community” did Thursday night. Hilarious.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Props to the secondary
I know Purdue has dropped like 25 passes today, but there has been good coverage all day long by the secondary. First time all season I have been able to say that.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
37 yard completion to Toon
Tolzien needed that one. Nice catch by Toon.
False start on Kendricks. Too bad, he has had a good day.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
We will see here how Welch's groin is feeling.
42 yard FG IS GOOD! Plenty of leg.
34-0 Wisconsin
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Well at least the students showed up for Jump Around.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Wow, what's going on with Iowa
3 Picks for Stanzi + a punt return fumbled. Indiana on Iowa’s 2 yd line right now too
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. -- Bruce Bartlett
lol
Or Iowa can just get a pick 6 as soon as I say that
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. -- Bruce Bartlett
God bless it.
I’m so sick of that Iowa defense making the Hawkeyes look like a good football team. That team is not a Top 10 team, I’m sorry.
If IU scores a TD there it is 28-7. Game over. Iowa couldn’t score that many points. Now it’s 21-14 instead.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Losing their running back in the last game really hurt them
And seriously – they’re not a good football team because their defense is so good? That doesn’t even make sense.
I still think they’re the best team in the big 10. Much better than OSU. They made PSU look absolutely silly last month.
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. -- Bruce Bartlett
I think they're
better than OSU and they were better than PSU when they played them. In a PSU – Iowa rematch now, though? I’m not so sure. PSU’s defense has been scaaaaary these last few weeks.
That was the first pass of the year intended for Kraig Appleton
He caught it, but couldn’t keep his foot in bounds.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
I'm going with P
Tom Lea is going with J

OH P drinks his RED BULL and gets wings and wins!

Jump Around here at Will’s short lived. Given the score, attention is diverted to beer and food.

Bielema goes for it on 4th and 1 at the 11 yard line with a 34-0 lead.
He must have the over…
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
5 picks for Stanzi now
Losing Robinson scuttled this offense. Imagine how good they would have been if Jewel Hampton weren’t injured before the season
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. -- Bruce Bartlett
It does seem to be the case
but I’m really surprised by that. It always seemed that Robinson and Wegher were more or less equal, and their offense was dominated by passing.
Iowa just scored a 92 yard passing play on 1st down. Trail 24-20 now
by rahchgo on Oct 31, 2009 1:49 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
lol
Now Iowa is in the lead after 2 long TDs
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. -- Bruce Bartlett
Looks like there are more of us here at Will’s than in the student section.

Did I read the graphic correctly a little while ago? Last time Wis. shut out Purdue was 1955?
