Purdue Boilermakers at Wisconsin Badgers, Oct 31, 2009 11:00 AM CDT
Kickoff: 11:02 a.m. CT
Location: Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, Wis.
Weather Forecast: 41F (Wind Chill 34F), cloudy, 10% chance of rain, Wind: W 18 mph
TV: ESPN2
Radio: WIBA-AM 1310, WIBA-FM 101.5 and the Badgers Radio Network
Opposing Blogs: Boiled Sports and Hammer and Rails
Pre-game Notes and Thoughts
Hello again from Camp Randall Stadium where it will be a windy and cold day in Madison, Wis. We are 50 minutes away from kickoff and both teams are on the field warming up.
This game is big for both Purdue and Wisconsin. Believe it or not, both teams can still play in this year's Rose Bowl, as Hammer and Rails optimisitically points out. Realistically, that probably won't happen, but Wisconsin does have a good chance of finishing the season 10-2, but the Badgers need to prove today that they are the team that went 5-0 to start the season and not the team that blew leads in each of its last two games and now sits at 5-2.
Some notes:
-
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.

TOUCHDOWN WISCONSIN!
Wisconsin runs on all 11 plays of the drive and goes 80-yards for the touchdown.
Welch kicks the extra point so he appears to be good to go today.

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.

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.

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.

Abnormally worried about the 2nd half? I’m afraid of Purdue making adjustments.

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.

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.

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.
