How to watch Wisconsin vs. Purdue

The No. 12 Wisconsin Badgers (8-2 overall, 5-2 B1G) take on the Purdue Boilermakers (4-6 overall, 3-4 B1G) Saturday afternoon for the Badgers Senior Day. Fun! It may also be Jonathan Taylor’s last home game in a Wisconsin uniform. Less fun!

Wisconsin, thanks to Minnesota losing to Iowa last week, is in control of their season again and can win the division if they win their last two regular season games. Purdue needs to win their last two games in order to become bowl eligible. The stakes are high, baby!

Taylor ran for over 300 yards last year against Purdue and he’ll be looking to add to his postseason awards bonafides with another big game against the Boilermakers. Wisconsin will also look to get the defense back on track after a few weeks of suspect tackling.

Purdue fans are not optimistic about their chances heading into Saturday, but Purdue gave the Badgers fits last year and Wisconsin has also already lost to an Illinois team that they were supposed to beat by 20-plus points. Sooooo, can’t take any games for granted.
